Cuentos de Misterio #167
In "Llega un Guerrero," comic legend Gil Kane—drawn here by his real-life counterpart in the story—flees creative burnout for the mysterious sanctuary of the House of Mystery, only to find his escape turns into a surreal confrontation with his own artistic legacy. Written by Mike Friedrich and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Gil Kane and Wally Wood, the tale blurs the line between creator and creation, culminating in a haunting twist that traps Kane within the very stories he once sought to escape. The cover, a striking collaboration by Neal Adams, captures the story’s eerie intensity.
