Frankenstein #5
In "Carnage," Ross Andru's dynamic art and Jack Abel's sharp inks bring to life a haunting tale of time, sacrifice, and the cost of redemption. An aged man arrives at a scientist's lab with a desperate plea: use an untested procedure to save a boy, unaware that the man is the scientist’s future self and the boy his own son. The story unfolds with quiet dread, as the past and future collide in a moment that reshapes destiny. John Romita’s cover captures the weight of that revelation, a stark image of a man burdened by time.
In "Carnage," Vincent Frankenstein lures the Monster into a dangerous journey to London with promises of answers, only to betray him and lock him away for cruel experimentation. Written by a master of gothic dread and brought to life with haunting art, this chilling tale explores the cost of ambition and the price of creation.
In "Epées rouges, ailes noires," Thongor’s brutal victory over Jeled Malkh sets off a chain of perilous events: captured and imprisoned in Thurdis’s dungeons, he narrowly escapes with the help of Ald Turmis, leaving the city behind in a stolen airship. But as he flees, a Grakk—its black wings slicing through the sky—attacks, plunging him into unconsciousness.
In "Le savant fou," a desperate old man drags a scientist into a desperate experiment to save a young boy’s life. When the procedure is complete, the old man reveals a shocking truth: he is the scientist’s future self, and the boy is his son—caught in a moment that will rewrite their fate.
