"La Chose des Marécages" kicks off Spectral #1 (1974) with a chilling tale of vengeance and obsession, as former partner Burt Jorgens returns from prison to haunt Richard Forman with cryptic tattoos that portend deadly accidents. Written by John Broome and brought to life with moody, precise art by Carmine Infantino and Sy Barry, the story unfolds in a tense, atmospheric dread. The haunting cover by Bernie Wrightson perfectly captures the creeping unease of the tale.
