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.

María Luisa was in the midst of hanging a beautiful painting on her wall, the hammer and nail at the ready. She was just about to secure the final nail when the doorbell rang, breaking the peaceful atmosphere. She hesitated for a moment, wondering who could be visiting at such an inconvenient time. As she made her way to the door, she opened it to find a door-to-door salesman standing on her porch. He was holding a painting that looked eerily similar to the one María Luisa was trying to hang. Her eyes widened in surprise as the salesman's face fell, realizing he was not going to make a sale.
