Gregori Arcane, the Patchwork Man, is a fictional DC Comics horror character based upon Frankenstein's monster. He is the brother of Anton Arcane[1] and the father of Abby Holland.



Publication history


The Patchwork Man first appeared in Swamp Thing #2 (January 1973).[2] He was believed to have been killed in the next issue.[3] Three years later, the character was revived and was to have become an ongoing feature in the House of Secrets series but only appeared in one issue.[4][5] In 1983, Semic Press published the 10–page story "Night of the Rat" in the Swedish comic book series Gigant. This story featuring the Patchwork Man was to have been published in House of Secrets #141, but has never appeared in a U.S. comic book.[6]



Plot


Patchwork Man was the second foe to fight the Swamp Thing.[2] He had been Gregori Arcane, the brother of Anton Arcane, another of the Swamp Thing's foes, until he was killed after stepping on a land mine. His brother Anton repaired his mutilated body and reanimated it. The result was a monster, the Patchwork Man.


Gregori went insane and Anton locked him in with his second series of Un-Men. In Swamp Thing #3, the Swamp Thing engages the Patchwork Man in battle while endeavouring to rescue Abby. Due to his injuries and transformation into a monster, the Patchwork Man could only remember that Abby was his daughter and that he was to rescue her. He falls to his apparent death, and the Swamp Thing and Abby go on to other adventures.[3]


In a storm his body fell apart and was found by Abby.[7]
