Aventures Fiction #41
"Evocation d'un mort" delivers a haunting, atmospheric tale in which Deadman recounts a supernatural mystery tied to the stolen Ruby of Khafir. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated with striking precision by George Tuska and Neal Adams, the story unfolds in a gothic tower where a hunchback, Nodo, becomes an unwitting pawn in a ghostly vendetta. With moody art and a layered plot, the issue blends noir intrigue and spectral suspense, all anchored by Deadman’s chilling narration and the eerie presence of a vengeful spirit. The cover, by Neal Adams, captures the story’s brooding tone in bold, expressive lines.
In "Evocation d'un mort," Deadman recounts a haunting tale from 1975, where a stolen ruby, a hunchbacked accomplice, and a vengeful ghost named Seth Gross collide in an old tower. When private investigator Johnny Double uncovers the theft, he turns to the Challengers—only for Deadman to step in when the spirit of a missing girl leads him to a shocking truth: Gross is no supernatural force, but a man using astral projection to hide his crimes.
In "Une mort pour Diana," private eye Tim Trench teams up with Diana and Ching as they hunt down the elusive Doctor Cyber. When a fake hospital call lures Diana into a trap, she barely escapes a submerged taxi before reuniting with her allies—only to face a deadly ambush at Fass Mansion, where a wounded Steve Trevor’s appearance ends in tragedy.
