Forbidden Knowledge #2

"Atomic Follies" in Forbidden Knowledge #2 (1978) presents a surreal, historically tinged tale illustrated by J. Osborne, who also wrote, inked, and lettered the story. The narrative unfolds through the recollection of Bernal Diaz in 1521, recounting a chilling encounter with Aztec rituals—specifically, the use of a sauce now recognized as salsa—rendered with stark, evocative art. The cover, by Pete von Sholly, complements the story’s eerie, time-bending tone.
