Jose Bea was inspired by surrealist painters such as Max Ernst to work in collage using prints from nineteenth century magazines. Integration of the graphics into Peter Hypnos create an unsettling climate along the lines of Lewis Carroll and HP Lovecraft. Information on the series is available (in Spanish) at https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hipnos. This issue is copyright 1976. If it was printed early in the year, these stories might all be first printings.
This cover is based on images from 'The Final Hole' (Peter in the tube), 'Through the Door of the Silver Key' (the caterpillar composed of many beings) and 'The Monster Factory' (the juggling man with three faces and ten hands).
Synopsis *SPOILER* On his way to school, a strange melody draws Peter to a factory that modifies humans. He meets Willy, a school friend who is enjoying having an enormous head. Willy takes Peter to the "ridiculous-people-making factory", where he sees a man turned into a giant and others given animal heads, painlessly and for free. Peter refuses to undergo the process and flees by jumping off a roof. An enormous parachute opens from his satchel and he returns home safely, where his mother tells him to stop fantasising and wandering the streets.
