Mundos Fantásticos: No. 3, 15 June 1953
 
 
"Mundos Fantásticos" Nº3, Editorial Proteo of México, 15 June 1953. Under that title, Spanish versions of two top SF comic mags were published: "Fantastic Worlds" and "Lost Worlds", both originally published in USA by Standard/Better publication, unfortunatelly for a ridiculously short run (only 3 issues of "FW" and 2 of "LW"). Which was a real pity, for both magazines were graced with an above-average staff of writers and artists, anonymous the first, as was then customary , and with the talents of Alex Toth, Jack Katz and other first-classers among the brush & ink people. I've always rated those stories among the very best in the genre, because they had that enchanting pulp flavor that made them really special and unique. This issue in particular is the version of "LW" #5 (which was the first one, for there were no issues 1-4), and is filled with 4 small masterpieces of the line. 
With thanks to  Carlos M. Federici for the scan and text.
