This Spanish-language pulp thriller, issue #226 in the Selección Terror series (June 1977), opens with Hannah Pellus awakening to discover a burglar rifling her home safe. During the intrusion, the professional thief attempts to strangle her. In self-defense, Hannah repeatedly stabs him with a letter-opener, killing him in a frenzy fueled by terror and survival instinct. At trial, her defense attorney argues she acted under justified self-defense and temporary insanity, emphasizing the burglar's strangling attempt and her unstable psychological state. The jury acquits her. Subsequently, mysterious visitor Dester Michelson arrives at the home of Augustus Sinclair (a crime writer) with disturbing observations: the burglar's fingerprints on the safe seem inconsistent with a professional thief's typical precautions. Michelson, implied to work for intelligence services, seeks Sinclair's assistance investigating whether something more sinister underlies the Pellus case. The narrative establishes a mystery suggesting the trial verdict may mask deeper conspiracies.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
