Delta #2
This is the eleventh issue of the Spanish comic series Delta, published by Ediciones Delta in 1980. The series is known for its science fiction and adventure stories, typical of the Spanish comic scene of the era. This particular issue continues the narrative arc of the series, though specific plot details are not provided here.
"La maldición del plenilunio" in Delta #2 (1980) delivers a haunting tale rooted in 18th-century France, where a grieving father’s desperate vow sets a dark and twisted course. Written, drawn, and inked by Pat Boyette, the story unfolds with a gothic intensity as a daughter’s love becomes entangled in a macabre legacy. The eerie cover by Segrelles captures the mood perfectly—a 75 ESP comic from 1980 that lingers in the mind long after the final page.
In the shadow of plague and revolution in 18th-century France, a crematory worker makes a desperate vow to his dying wife: whatever their daughter wishes, she shall have. Years later, as an adult, Jo finds love with a man who becomes her secret lover. When her father learns of the affair, he executes the man and preserves his body—offering it to Jo as a twisted fulfillment of her father’s promise.
