Selección Terror: Alucinaciones
A Spanish pulp horror magazine cover featuring a woman in a slip discovering a skeleton in what appears to be a tomb or dungeon. The illustration uses warm ochre and purple tones typical of mid-century adventure pulp painting. Published by Bolsilibros Bruguera, this entry in the *Selección Terror* series exemplifies the genre magazines that dominated Spanish newsstands through the 1970s and '80s—affordable paperback anthologies of weird fiction and horror stories that inherited their visual language from American pulp magazines of the previous decades. The age restriction stamp and sensationalist typography signal the commercial pulp market's core audience and marketing strategies.
