Historias Fantásticas #169
"El secreto del continente perdido" delivers a thrilling time-travel adventure anchored in ancient myth, as Rip and his crew journey to the island of Aeaea in 700 BC, guided by an ancient tablet. With Mike Sekowsky’s dynamic art and Joe Giella’s sharp inks bringing the lost world to life, the story unfolds with mystery and danger—pit traps, deceptive sorceresses, and a daring escape using a dragon powered by the Time Sphere. Cover by Sekowsky and Giella captures the epic scale, making this 1967 issue a standout in the Historias Fantásticas series.
In "El secreto del continente perdido," Rip and Bonnie race against time to decode an ancient tablet linking them to Atlantis, following its clues to Alexandria in 331 BC. With Alexander the Great facing a crushing Persian invasion and their lives hanging in the balance, a mysterious "great metal bird" — the Time Sphere — changes everything. As war looms and panic spreads, Rip must act fast, using bold tactics to turn the tide. But the real mystery is just beginning: the tablet points to a lost map, and the journey has only just begun.
In "Capítulo II, La isla prohibida," Rip and his crew arrive in 700 BC on the mysterious island of Aeaea, guided by an ancient tablet. Trapped in a pit and confronted by Circe and her enigmatic "centaurs," the truth slowly unfolds: the so-called sorceress is protecting her people with a clever disguise. As Cretan warships approach, the crew must rely on ingenuity and the Time Sphere to defend the island, all while tensions rise between Bonnie and Circe over Rip’s unexpected heroism.
In "Capítulo III, El continente sentenciado," the Time Sphere crash-lands in Atlantis during 14,000 BC, revealing a hidden future city inhabited by orange aliens. With the island on the brink of destruction and a tyrant refusing to flee, Rip and his crew must act fast as the ground trembles beneath them—just as a new chapter in their journey begins.
