Relatos Fabulosos #61
"El Cráneo Siniestro" in Relatos Fabulosos #61 (1964, Editorial Novaro) delivers a chilling moment of eerie déjà vu: María Luisa, mid-hang of a painting, is interrupted by a door-to-door salesman who holds a piece nearly identical to hers. The tension builds in quiet, unsettling fashion as the two face each other, the similarity between the artworks hanging in the air like a silent threat. Cover by Bob Brown captures the moment’s unsettling stillness with sharp, expressive lines.
In "El Hombre Que Destruyó a Eclipso," Jo finds herself caught between love and the terrifying truth about her boyfriend, Bruce Gordon—revealed to be the ancient force Eclipso. When Bruce seeks out his old friend Judson Randall, he stumbles upon a mysterious, glowing prison, and in a desperate gamble, lets Judson attempt to cure him. But as Eclipso is freed, it becomes clear that the balance of power has shifted in ways no one could have foreseen.
In the quiet of midnight, Torcuato slips through a window with one goal: the large safe. His breath quickens as he opens it, only to find another thief already inside, focused on a smaller security box. The moment hangs, tense and absurd, as both men realize they’re not alone in the dark.
In "Vendedor de cuadros de flores," María Luisa is just moments from finishing her quiet afternoon of hanging a painting when a knock at the door interrupts her. The unexpected visitor, a door-to-door salesman, holds a canvas that mirrors her own—so closely that the moment feels less like coincidence and more like a quiet, curious collision of chance.
