Oltretomba poker #5
In "papè satan aleppe," the damned Count Laios Markovich, condemned to death, makes a fateful bargain with Satan for eternal life—three trials of darkness to prove his devotion. But when a flicker of mercy stirs within him for the young Klara, his path toward damnation begins to fracture. Illustrated with haunting detail by Vicente Segrelles, and featuring a stark, evocative cover by Alex Horley, this 2025 issue from Edizioni IF delivers a chilling exploration of sin, redemption, and the fragile light that can still burn in the deepest shadow.

In "dal ventre della morte," a grotesque entity born from a dead woman’s body and a cursed soul festers within the haunted halls of Mont Saint Roche, feeding on the dread and legends that cling to the castle like moss. The story unfolds in the shadowed corridors of a place where the line between life and the unnatural blurs, leaving only unease in its wake.
