Skræk #5
In "Myrna & Enoch!", writer Albert B. Feldstein and artists Jack Davis (interior) craft a chilling tale of cultural clash and retribution, set during the British occupation of India. When a British officer ignores his uncle’s warning and kills a sacred wild boar, the consequences unfold with grim inevitability. Cover by Graham Ingels captures the story’s unsettling tone, a 16.50 DKK comic from 1994 that lingers long after the final page.

A British officer visits his uncle in India during the occupation. His uncle warns him off hunting the wild boars in the area which are sacred to the natives. He disregards him and kills a boar, then prepares it by boiling the hair off, roasting it upon a spit, and finally serving it on a plate with an apple in its mouth. A native servant present during the dinner witnesses this and is horrified. The uncle apologizes to the native head, but word gets out, and though the officer is to leave the area tomorrow, the natives get hold of him and give him the same treatment.
