In "La tour de babel," Martin Mystère stumbles upon a mysterious book that recounts three enigmas—yet the real mystery lies in the book itself. Written by Alfredo Castelli and illustrated by Claudio Villa, this 1985 issue from Editions Lug presents a self-referential puzzle: the text perfectly reproduces notes from a future publication of Mystère’s own work, blurring the line between past and future. The cover by Claudio Villa captures the book’s eerie, recursive essence.
In "Le livre des arcanes," Martin Mystère stumbles upon a mysterious book that claims to contain the stories of three unsolved mysteries—yet the text itself is eerily familiar, replicating, word for word, the notes he hasn’t written yet for a book he hasn’t published. The line between past, present, and future blurs as the book seems to know his thoughts before he has them.
