Horror #1
"Die Braut des Todes" opens in 1972 with a chilling tale of obsession and dark bargains, as the ancient Graf Louis da Costa tortures witches in pursuit of eternal youth. Written by Jack Oleck and brought to life with haunting detail by artist Nestor Redondo—both inks and pencils—this story unfolds in a gothic nightmare where a deal with the devil comes with a terrifying twist. The cover, a striking collaboration by Neal Adams in both pencils and inks, captures the dread of a bride who may not be who she seems.
In "Die Braut des Todes," the aged Graf Louis da Costa, driven by a desperate thirst for eternal youth, makes a pact with the devil—trading his soul for a century of life and a youthful bride. But when the bride arrives, her eyes hold a century of secrets, and the true cost of his bargain begins to unfold.
In "Finger des Grauens," Albert Tisdale is haunted by a cursed hand that sprouts miniature versions of his victims from his fingers—a grotesque manifestation of his guilt. As the hand turns against him, seeking vengeance, Albert struggles to survive the very horror he once committed.

Though Vic believes he’s already dead after a fatal crash, he must confront the impossible to save the woman he loves.
When Claire falls under the spell of the mysterious witch Gina, her friend Frederik is drawn into a dark web of secrets and suspicion. As the line between reality and enchantment blurs, Frederik must find the strength to break the spell before it’s too late.
