- Cain and Abel are a pair of fictional characters in the DC Comics universe based on the biblical Cain and Abel. They are key figures in DC's "Mystery" line of the late 1960s and 1970s, which became the mature-readers imprint, Vertigo, in 1993. Cain is based on the Biblical Cain while Abel is based on the Biblical Abel, but are altogether different character than their Biblical counterparts. Cain and Abel are one of many human (with pet companions) key figures in DC's "Mystery" lineup referred to as horror hosts of the late 1960s and 1970s, which later became a part of the mature-readers imprint, Vertigo. They are both depicted as brothers and they are also sons of Eve (another DC horror host based on a Biblical figure called Eve). In 1993, host characters like Cain, Abel, Eve and Lucien were retconned as a part of the Dreaming in the critically acclaimed Sandman comic books. The character Cain is also commonly associated with his pet gargoyle Gregory. (en)
