Hoy tengo ideas especiales, ideales para nosotros.

A comic book cover inspired by the 1940s horror comics tradition, capturing the eerie style of classic EC Comics with the addition of True Grit Texture Supply effects. The cover features a dark, moody color palette with deep, blood reds, sickly greens, and inky blues. At the center, a deranged doctor with wild, unruly hair and a wicked grin wears a torn, bloodstained lab coat. He holds a large jar containing a grotesque, pulsating human heart hooked to wires and tubes. In his other hand, he wields a rusted, bloodied surgical saw. The scene is set in an old, grimy laboratory littered with vintage medical tools, broken glass beakers, and flickering, exposed light bulbs hanging from frayed wires. In the shadowed background, the silhouette of a monstrous figure lurks—a pair of glowing red eyes and long, skeletal fingers reaching out ominously. The comic title, "Horrific Tales," is displayed in large, distressed lettering that appears cracked and dripping, paired with a tagline reading, “Science Gone Mad!” A small, oval frame in the bottom corner shows a skeletal figure wearing a top hat and a tattered suit, grinning wickedly and pointing towards the reader. To enhance the vintage and unsettling atmosphere, True Grit Texture Supply effects are used extensively: halftone dots create an authentic, retro print feel; grain and paper texture give the cover a tactile, worn quality; and distressed edges with faded ink mimic the look of an old, well-read comic. The overall style evokes a sense of horror, nostalgia, and the gritty imperfection of traditional print
