L'Homme Rapiécé

L'Homme Rapiécé — the Patchwork Man — is Gregori Arcane, a man grotesquely resurrected and stitched together by his brother Anton Arcane. Shambling and tragic, he retains dim memories of his humanity while existing as a horrifying composite creature, published in France by Arédit-Artima.

Born in the Bronze Age from the legendary creative partnership of Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson, L'Homme Rapiécé made their debut in Spectral #2 in 1974 — stepping into a world populated by some genuinely compelling company, sharing pages with the likes of La Créature du Marais, Alec Holland, Gregori Arcane, and Matt Cable. Published under the French imprint Arédit-Artima, this character's presence stretches across a remarkable thirty-year span, appearing across titles including La Créature du marais and La Créature des Marais. Six catalog appearances may sound modest, but when your debut springs from two of comics' most celebrated Bronze Age talents, every appearance carries real weight — a genuine curio for the serious collector with a taste for Franco-Belgian genre publishing history.
