Skräckmagasinet #3/1972
"Örnens klor!" delivers a delightfully eerie twist on a classic nursery rhyme, with Sam Glanzman writing and drawing a tale where a boy with an egg-shaped head feels the weight of a familiar story made real. When his schoolteacher visits his home, she uncovers a startling secret: his father is no ordinary man, but a living echo of Humpty-Dumpty himself. Neal Adams' striking cover art captures the story’s unsettling charm, making this 1972 issue a must for fans of vintage Scandinavian horror comics.
In "Örnens klor!", the fallen rebel leader El Aguila, captured and executed by the tyrannical general Mirez, curses his killer with a haunting prophecy: Mirez will be tormented by vultures for the rest of his days. The story unfolds with a chilling sense of dread as the curse takes hold, leaving the dictator prey to unseen, relentless terror.
In a quiet moment at school, Jo, a boy with an egg-shaped head, grows somber after hearing the tale of Humpty-Dumpty. When his teacher visits his home, she’s stunned to find his father bears an uncanny resemblance to the fallen egg — a discovery that blurs the line between story and reality.
