Forbidden Worlds #113
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Delta-R Machine!", a 1963 classic from American Comics Group, a centuries-old charm tied to a satanic bargain resurfaces when modern-day Bud Harper inherits its power—only to discover that courage, once earned, can outwit even the Devil himself. Written by Ace Aquila and brought to life with stark, expressive art by Ogden Whitney, both in pencils and inks, this story weaves a chilling tale of fate, fear, and unexpected strength. The cover by Whitney captures the eerie tension of the moment the charm’s power is revealed.
In "Buried by Time!" from *Forbidden Worlds* #113 (1963), three young historians embark on a daring expedition to prove ancient African mariners reached the New World—only to find themselves swept across oceans and centuries, landing among the ancient Aztecs. After fleeing through a forgotten jungle, they plunge over a waterfall and return to the present, forever changed by the proof they carry.
In a tale that spans centuries, a 17th-century man’s reckless wish for courage sets a chilling precedent, one that echoes into the present when a modern-day skeptic named Bud Harper unknowingly inherits the same cursed charm. As the Devil returns to claim what was promised, Bud finds himself armed not with a bargain, but with the kind of courage no deal could ever buy.
