Abel

Went on vacation up to Tahoe where I re-read the entire House of Mystery series by Sturges and Rossi (which I whole-heartedly recommend). One minor character in that series was Abel, the host of the House of Secrets and the ill-fated, constantly murdered, brother to Cain, the host of the House of Mystery. Back in the day these two were like the Cryptkeeper or Elvira for two of DC's horror anthologies. Well, maybe not like Elvira all that much. This reminded me that when I was much younger I had decided to redraw DC's Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe (ambitious wasn't I?) from A to Z. And the very first character in that directory was Abel. I only got five in. I was in 8th grade. There was a world of other stuff to occupy my time (girls). So, in honor of my ambitious youth, here is Abel.
