Old Oct 5th, 2004, 07:14 AM        origins of Cain from the Sandman series
I always had a sense of familiarity about Cain, then it suddenly hit me where I knew him from. So I went looking through my old comics stash and found this:



The House of Mystery, a comic series from about 1984 with ghost and horror stories, and a continuing story called "I... Vampire" about a vampire hunting after his former lover to stop her from taking over the world. The comics were quite good, actually. I only got the first three issues from a small comic book store that looked like it just sold leftover issues of old series.

Anyway, the stories were nearly always given an introduction by the librarian and janitor of the House of Mystery, Cain:



Unmistakable, right?

Be sure to scald me if this is common knowledge. I have no idea how well or bad the House of Mystery series did, and beyond the first three issues the closest I got to seeing more of it was an ad for issue 4 on the back of a Batman comic. But I thought it was kind of interesting, since Neil Gaiman thanks a Bernie Wrightson for Cain and Abel in Preludes & Nocturnes.
