Historias Fantásticas #9
"El juego prohibido" in Historias Fantásticas #9 (1958) delivers a chilling twist on a classic magical pact, as Alex Denton is granted immense power—on one impossible condition. When the sorcerer refuses to name the forbidden color, Denton's clever trick leads to a crash that leaves him color blind, thrusting him into danger he never saw coming. With art by Mort Meskin and a striking cover by Sheldon Moldoff, this early tale from Editorial Novaro blends suspense and fate in a way that lingers long after the final panel.
