Skorpio #13
In "La favola di Cappuccetto Rosso," Marcos is sent by Emir Abdel-Kurd to locate the legendary Red Mask once worn by Suleiman the Magnificent—a relic said to grant religious authority. But upon arrival, he finds a city in turmoil, its new leader denying the mask’s very existence. Written by Ray Collins and illustrated by Victor Hugo Arias, this 1978 tale blends myth and rebellion in a story where truth is as dangerous as power. The cover by Ángel Fernández captures the tale’s eerie, folkloric tone.
