Historias Fantásticas #2

In "El hombre que se apoderó de un genio," a scientist's invention—a camera that brings photos into three dimensions—unleashes a dangerous chain of events when his neighbor Adam Hale steals it and kills him to keep it. With the camera’s power, Hale tries to escape the law by trapping himself inside a photograph, only to face unintended consequences when the film is ruined. Leonard Starr’s art brings the eerie, surreal tension to life, with every panel sharpened by his distinctive pencils and inks, making this early 1958 tale from Editorial Novaro a striking example of speculative horror from the era.
