Spectral #2
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.
In "Le château des monstres," the Swamp Thing experiences a mystical transformation that briefly restores his humanity—only for Arcane to seize the opportunity and claim the Swamp Thing’s body for his own. When Alec Holland learns his former form is being twisted to serve dark purposes, he intervenes in the spell, setting events back on their original course.
In the shadowed hills of the Balkans, Matt Cable crosses paths with Abigail Arcane, daughter of Gregori Arcane and niece of the enigmatic Anton Arcane, as strange forces stir beneath ancient stones. Meanwhile, deep in the marshes, the Creature of the Marsh encounters a broken, stitched-together being—another Non-Homme born from Arcane’s twisted experiments.
In "Le fantôme," actor Winters takes on a role in a play banned by the town, unaware that Lord Boynton’s vow to return from the grave to punish those who revive it may be more than a legend. As the performance begins, the line between theater and terror blurs in a tale of haunted legacy and forbidden art.
