Who is Kain?

Kain is a mysterious figure from DC/Vertigo horror anthology comics, published in Scandinavia through Semic, who hosts eerie tales alongside his counterpart Abel — a pairing rich with biblical resonance that sets the tone for their macabre storytelling duties.

Bronze Age mystery awaits in the pages of Semic's Scandinavian anthology titles, where Kain made his debut in 1983's Mysterieserier — a character born from the creative talents of Bruce Jones and Dan Spiegle, with Bengt Sahlberg also among the hands that shaped him. Appearing across Mysterieserier and Skräckmagasinet, Kain shares his eerie corner of the comics world with the enigmatic Abel, a pairing that carries unmistakable weight for any reader attuned to the mythic resonance of those names. With five catalog appearances, this is a rare and intriguing find for collectors drawn to the shadowy edges of Bronze Age horror anthologies.
