Kalla kårar #1/1990
"Från andra sidan graven!" is a chilling tale from the 1990 issue Kalla kårar #1, written by Johan Andreasson and Johnny Craig, with art and inks by Johnny Craig and lettering by Johan Andreasson. When Henry, disillusioned by his successful friend Robert’s refusal to sell his etchings, sells them anyway, a bitter rift ignites—leading to a violent act with devastating consequences. Years later, as Henry builds a wax museum with a fellow sculptor, he uncovers a horrifying truth buried beneath the art: the figures may not be what they seem. The cover, a haunting piece by Al Feldstein, captures the story’s unsettling tone.
In the frozen silence of the forest, Bill’s jealousy turns deadly when he kills Jim to win Laura’s love. As he tries to convince her Jim simply vanished, her growing doubt becomes his undoing. When he finally confesses, the truth consumes him—only to be answered by a chilling resurrection that pulls him into the grave he dug.
In the chilling aftermath of a car crash, a man races to save his unconscious wife, only to find her blood loss defies explanation—no wounds, no visible cause. When a passing stranger offers a blood transfusion, she recovers, but vanishes soon after, sparking a wave of brutal vampire attacks. As suspicion falls on the donor, a desperate man uncovers a deadly truth buried in the shadows.
In "Mörda älskaren!", affärsmannen Kenneth Martin, shattered by betrayal, plots a deadly revenge against his best friend Walter, whom he catches in flagrante with his wife. Luring Walter on a hunting trip with a twisted plan, Kenneth sets a trap—but fate has its own brutal sense of justice.
In "Mörda hennes man!", Walter’s forbidden desire for his friend Kenneth’s wife drives him to a desperate act. When Kenneth invites him on a hunting trip, the two set out on a boat—where the weight of Walter’s secret and the cold waters of the lake collide.
In "Porträtt i vax!", Henry’s resentment toward his successful artist friend Robert boils over when he secretly sells Robert’s etchings to survive. Years later, as Henry builds a wax cabinet with a mysterious sculptor, he discovers the horrifying truth: the lifelike figures are not mere art, but something far more unsettling. The sculptor’s final reveal turns the entire act of creation into a chilling reckoning.
In "Ett foto av döden!", Jean Darrow walks into a dimly lit billiard hall and hires "Red" Morgan to kill the woman in a photograph she hands over—herself, captured in a moment she can no longer bear. With only six months left to live and too afraid to end her own life, Jean’s desperate plan unravels when she learns her illness may be curable, leaving her scrambling to cancel the contract before it’s too late.
In "Nattens fasa!", Tom, the owner of a remote mountain cabin, shares a chilling dream with his friend Jim—a nightmare about a couple who checked in, haunted by a woman convinced death was trailing her. Jim dismisses it as just a dream, but moments later, the very same couple steps out of a car, exactly as Tom described.
