Selección Terror: Tratamiento de Terror
· 1980

This Spanish-language pulp magazine contains two distinct narratives. The opening excerpt depicts an interrogation scene involving torture, with a hooded figure demanding Vietcong patrol information from a captive woman, revealing refined torture instruments within a cabinet.
The main story, "Tratamiento de terror" by Adam Surray (1980), follows private investigator Mickey Samms. Samms, a former police detective, lives with his elderly grandfather Alfred and runs a struggling detective agency. When an attractive former fiancée named Sheila unexpectedly visits, Samms learns her wealthy husband Jess Dugan disappeared a year ago in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Despite police and private investigator efforts, no trace emerged. Sheila suspects Jess's powerful family, the Dugans, plans to declare him dead to gain control of his business holdings and eliminate her from their clan. She hires Samms to locate Dugan, alive or dead, to uncover the truth behind his disappearance.
