Relatos Fabulosos #64
"El Hombre que Quiso ser Herchicero" is a standout tale from Relatos Fabulosos #64 (1964), featuring a bold experiment in cosmic power and moral ambition. Written by Bob Haney and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Alex Toth, the story follows Bruce Gordon as he attempts to redirect Eclipso’s dark energy using an ultraviolet ray gun—only to unleash a new threat when a meteor releases a mysterious space-creature. The cover, by Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff, captures the moment of cosmic arrival with striking clarity.
When amateur magician Hubert Hartley stumbles upon Mark Merlin's mysterious suitcase after a flight, he unwittingly unleashes a whirlwind of magical mishaps with the artifacts inside. The story follows his chaotic journey as he grapples with powers far beyond his understanding.
In this brief, wry moment from *Relatos Fabulosos* #64, Chiricuto pretends he’s a sharpshooter, striking a dramatic pose with a pistol—only to snap back to reality with a splash of water from a spray bottle, wiping down a jeep’s windshield. A single page of deadpan humor, it captures the gap between fantasy and the mundane with a perfectly timed punchline.
In "Las Dos Caras del Destino," Bruce Gordon wields an ultraviolet ray gun in a desperate bid to reform Eclipso, but when a meteor crashes and unleashes a mysterious space-creature, the balance of power shifts in ways no one could have predicted. The story unfolds with a tense, high-stakes clash of wills, where destiny itself seems to wear two opposing faces.
