Serietidningen #10/1976
"Smugglingen" delivers a chilling tale from 1976, as Anton Arcane, having survived his European ordeal, retreats to the haunted marshlands in pursuit of the Träskmannen. With the spirits of African slaves rising to oppose him, Arcane’s dark ambitions face a supernatural resistance he may not survive. Written by Len Wein and illustrated with haunting precision by Bernie Wrightson, the story unfolds in eerie, atmospheric detail. The cover, a striking collaboration by Mike Kaluta, captures the dread of the swamp’s secrets.
In "Smugglingen," the Shadow teams up with Margo Lane and Harry Vincent to unravel a twisted scheme where a criminal uses a homeless shelter as a cover to eliminate look-alikes, allowing real criminals to vanish and start anew—each death a carefully staged disappearance, and every new life built on a stolen one.
In "Kapitel 2: Gravens hemlighet," the Shadow, aided by Margo Lane and Harry Vincent, investigates a web of deception spun by Homer Bliss, a man who uses his shelter to stage the deaths of homeless men—replacing them with criminals seeking to vanish. As the mystery deepens, the Shadow must unravel a scheme where every grave holds a secret, and no one is who they seem.
In "Hämnd!", Anton Arcane returns from the war-torn battlefields of Europe, driven by a dark purpose as he ventures into the misty depths of Träskmannens träsk. There, he seeks to capture the reclusive Träskmannen—but the vengeful spirits of forgotten African slaves rise from the swamp, determined to stop him.
