Skräckserien #4/1973
"Man skrattar i helvetet idag! [kapitel 1]" delivers a chilling start to a supernatural tale from 1973, written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated with striking intensity by Neal Adams, with inks by Bill Draut and Adams himself. When a group of teenagers believe they’ve awakened stone statues through a voodoo spell, they soon find themselves entangled in a far darker game orchestrated by the enigmatic Tala, who seeks to seduce the Gengångaren into aiding her world conquest. Her schemes lead them to a ruined house where they discover Linda Phillips—trapped and alive for over a century, buried in a wall since the 1800s. The cover, a masterwork by Neal Adams in both pencils and inks, captures the story’s eerie tone perfectly.
In "Man skrattar i helvetet idag! [kapitel 1]," Doktor Thirteen’s actions inadvertently free the malevolent Tala from her underground prison, setting her on a path toward New York as she pursues Thirteen and Marie. The story unfolds with a chilling sense of dread, as the past comes roaring back in ways no one could have foreseen.
In "Kapitel II: Man skrattar i helvetet inatt!", Gengångaren races to save Thirteen and Marie from a deadly plane crash orchestrated by the sinister Tala. Meanwhile, the young allies Spartacus, Attila, Wild Rose, and Mister Square inherit a mysterious book that pulls them into a haunted house, where the line between nightmare and reality begins to blur.
In "Kapitel III: Till och med väggarna gråter!", Jo and her friends stumble into a chilling mystery when their prank with a voodoo spell awakens something far older than they imagined. Tala, a mysterious figure with a hidden agenda, manipulates events from the shadows, testing the resolve of the Gengångaren while a forgotten soul—Linda Phillips, trapped in a wall since the 1800s—awaits her moment to be found.
In "Redan död," a man picks up a hitchhiker on a quiet road, sharing a night of unexpected warmth and connection before dropping her at her home. The next evening, he returns to learn the woman he spent time with has been dead for a full year.
In "Död mans dagbok," Conrad Crane begins working as a taste-tester for the paranoid Dales, who fears poisoning at every meal. Unbeknownst to Dales, Crane is the son of a man Dales once abandoned to die on a remote island.
