Questo l’incipit della presentazione a Il cristallo magico sul numero 373 della rivista, che prosegue: – “Strano mondo, con strani paesi che nessun atlante ha mai segnato, abitato da strani popoli che nessuno ha mai sentito nominare, dominato da terribili deità di legno o di pietra dai barbari nomi, pervaso da un’umanità avventurosa e febbrile: naviganti, pirati, mendicanti, ladri, profeti, sacerdoti, sospinta da folli speranze, percossa da timori non meno folli, in preda alle potenze e ai capricci del soprannaturale”.
