In "Le château des monstres," Matt Cable arrives in the Balkans, where he meets Abigail Arcane—daughter of Gregori Arcane and niece of the enigmatic Anton Arcane—while a mysterious, stitched-together Non-Homme stirs in the swamps, a product of Arcane’s twisted experiments. Written by Len Wein and illustrated with haunting precision by Bernie Wrightson, this 1974 issue delivers a chilling blend of gothic dread and supernatural intrigue, with Wrightson’s cover matching the story’s eerie tone in both pencils and inks.
