Serietidningen #1/1975
"Valcan Drakhanden" kicks off with a haunting origin story in this 1975 issue from Williams Förlags AB, where the tragic transformation of Alec Holland into the Träskmonstret is revealed. Written by Len Wein and brought to life with moody, detailed art by Bernie Wrightson—both inks and pencils—this tale unfolds through flashbacks of the Holland couple’s fateful move to a remote lab in the swamp. The cover, a striking collaboration by Berni Wrightson and Ernie Chua, captures the eerie atmosphere of the story’s dark, watery world.
In the shadowed realms of Serietidningen #1/1975, King Occulas wages a desperate hunt for a man whose name echoes through the halls of legend—Valcan Drakhanden. Driven by whispers of a hand that mirrors a dragon’s claw, the king sets his forces upon a trail that leads through ancient ruins and forgotten paths, where myth and blood are one.
In "Ett mörkt öde!", a haunted past rises from the swamp as Träskmonstret recalls the night his life was torn apart. When the scientist Alec Holland and his wife Linda flee to their remote lab in the marshlands, their peace is shattered by the ruthless Konklaven, who demand their research—and when they refuse, the house burns. Left to die, Alec is transformed by a plant-based serum, becoming the creature known as Träskmonstret. Now driven by memory and vengeance, he stalks the mist-laden wetlands, a man turned monster, seeking retribution in silence.
