House of Mystery #90
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Invasion of the Energy Creatures!", a European city marks its 1000-year anniversary with eerie echoes of the past, as the legendary Crimson Folio—once thought a mere record of history—reveals itself as a prophecy book. With events from its pages beginning to unfold again, the descendant of the final victim faces a terrifying fate as the past threatens to consume the present. Art by Mort Meskin and George Roussos brings the creeping dread to life, while Bob Brown’s cover captures the moment the city’s fate turns.
In the centennial of a European city’s founding, long-buried legends from the mysterious *Crimson Folio* begin to unfold with eerie precision—events from the past reenacting themselves in real time. Now, the descendant of the final victim named in the book finds themselves caught in a timeline they never asked to inherit.
In a dusty South American town, photographer Ben Martin stumbles upon a strange, flying four-legged creature—what he calls a "bronc"—and a crashed spaceship containing an injured alien pilot. The pilot urgently signals that Ben must ride the bronc back to the old corral, the ship’s hidden landing site, before it’s too late.
