Doc Savage: La Muerte Vestida de Plata

This Spanish-language pulp magazine presents "Death Dressed in Silver," a Doc Savage adventure by Kenneth Robeson. The story opens with Paine Winthrop, a harsh shipping magnate, receiving a threatening telephone call from an anonymous voice representing "The Silver Skulls," a criminal organization pressuring him into complicity with their schemes. When Winthrop refuses and threatens to contact police, a catastrophic explosion destroys his office on a New York skyscraper, killing him instantly. The blast also damages a nearby laboratory belonging to Monk, Doc Savage's chemistry expert, where Monk and his pig Habeas Corpus are working among scientific equipment. Monk and his associate Ham, a lawyer carrying a black cane, investigate the explosion scene. They question surviving employees but find no clear cause. Police and reporters soon flood the building, forcing evacuation to lower offices housing an antiques business. Reporters immediately seek information about Doc Savage's involvement in the case.
