7/10
The Cursed Comic Book
22 March 2024
Jack is in Singapore, and Ryan goes to a comic book shop owned by Charlie Evans to receive his order. Charlie shows him the rare edition of the number one of "Tales of the Undead" that he intends to sell in an auction, where he will get at least US$ 25,000.00 per the sale. The magazine introduces the hero Ferrus and is signed by its creator, Jay Star. However, the hoodlum Cal breaks the display case to steal the magazine. When he grabs the comic book, he turns into Ferrus, kills Charlie, and knocks out Ryan. Micki is skeptical with the story told by Ryan, but he discovers that Lewis bought the comic book to from Jacon Starenski, maybe the real name of Jay Star. Ryan believes that Jay died poor, but heads to his address and finds that he is alive, living with his maid Mrs. Forbes. Jay receives Ryan, gives an autograph to him and discloses his story. Jay tells him how he would have been cheated and his Peerless Comics and Ferrus were taken from him. Ryan tells him that Ferrus has come to life, and when Ryan leaves the house, Jay leaves too to seek revenge.

"Tales of the Undead" is another reasonable episode of "Friday the 13th: The Series". Jack Marshak is only credited and does not participate in the story. The plot of a hero from a comic book that comes to life is entertaining and the conclusion is funny. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Fábula Assassina" ("Assassin Fable")
