Cuentos de Misterio #143
In "El hombre que rechazó la buena suerte," Amos Todd’s Museum of Worthless Inventions becomes the unlikely center of a storm of impossible breakthroughs when a flash of light changes everything. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Bernard Baily, this 1968 tale from Editorial Novaro follows Todd as he discovers his once-ridiculed inventions suddenly work—only to face a sudden, mysterious collapse. The cover, a striking collaboration by Carmine Infantino, Joe Orlando, and George Roussos, captures the story’s eerie, high-stakes atmosphere.

Amos Todd sells tickets to his Museum of Worthless Inventions when he sees a flash of light come through the rain clouds. He shows a gold making machine and then a power pill which converts water to gasoline. He is surprised when the water suddenly bursts into flame. In the storm he helps a doctor's car with a power pill and water. He finds all inventions now work and fixes the hospital generator with a perpetual motion machine. Back at the museum criminals steal the gold making machine. Todd follows using mechanical wings which stop working as he lands. All machines return to uselessness.
