The Goddamned is a graphic novel following the adventures of Cain as he wanders the Earth looking for a way to die. Things look up when he runs into Noah, who is preparing for the Great Flood.
They could have been 130 yo. That's actually the best guess from piecing the timeline together. Not sure if they retired at some point - they were self employed and probably didn't set up 401k's
If my memory serves me correctly, there was Adam and Eve (the first people), then they gave birth to Cain and Abel. Then after Cain kills Abel, he gets sent out to live as an outcast amongst "the other people of the world". .... Who? I think someone said one belief is Adam and Eve kept having kids and they became the rest of the people. So yeah, Cain was old.
See, Able was flaunting his dick, and Cain was tired of hiding his out of envy, so, Bonk!
Not the first time Cain tried to get Able in the nuts, see how Able deftly reduces the attack surface for the knee in his crotch? These two have been at it before. But Able was expecting a fistfight, so shocked.

So Abel was the first person to die, right? That must have been a fucking trip for Cain when he hit him and he never got up.

In fictions [Year One and The Sandman] Cain is usually depicted as a bully and Abel as a victim.
I'd like to see a version where Abel is an obnoxious twit who drives Cain to it.
edit = bacause someone asked about Year One

"Abel, quit faking! Mom, Dad, Abel isn't getting up! I was just kidding around and hit him with this rock."

Was Year One in the Sandman Universe? I've read most of that stuff but haven't heard of Year One.
I'd really dig some more Cain and Abel stories.

Was he the first to die or the first to be murdered?

Something sort of similar happens in Supernatural.

I think I gave up on that show in Season 1,095,000,003.

That's understandable. I only finished it because I had lots of free time during COVID.

I skipped "The Americans" when it first came out because the idea seemed so silly.
Somehow I decided to give it another go, and ended up watching the whole thing in about a month.

You know, I always pictured them as teenagers but am now realising they could've been retirement age for all I know.

This just made me realize that there are two characters in TADC named Caine and Abel who worked together until Caine deleted Abel...
