Who is Cain?

A Platinum Age comics character appearing alongside biblical figures such as Abel, Adam, Eve, Moses, and God, this Cain is rooted in the ancient story of humanity's first family, depicting the infamous brother of Abel from Judeo-Christian scripture.

Few characters can claim a publishing journey stretching over a century, but Cain β€” debuting in the pages of Life magazine back in 1909, brought to life by Al Walker β€” is exactly that rare figure. Emerging from the Platinum Age, when comics and illustrated humor were still finding their footing, this character shares the page with some of the most storied names in all of storytelling: Abel, Adam, Eve, Moses, and God himself. Appearing across Life, Judge, and Limited Collectors' Edition, Cain's presence in the catalog spans an astonishing 103 years, a testament to the enduring pull of the oldest stories reimagined through the comic arts. A modest seven appearances makes each one a genuine find for the dedicated collector with a taste for history.
