The auction is over; 5 minutes of stress and 417$ later we can proudly say that, finally, we are the winners of the Mystery Tales 40 comic book that appeared on Lost 4x11.

YES! We are the winners of the bid!

We just made the payment, here you can see the invoice:

Now we just have to wait until it arrives: the waiting is the hardest part.

Stay tunned for more Mystery Tales 40 info, the truth is coming!

When we were about to give up the search, we found it! It was easier than it looked, it was being auctioned at eBay. Funnily enough, it was there before the 4x11 Lost episode was aired.

Now the thing is... the auction for the Mystery Tales 40 finishes on May 16th, we don't know if we're going to be able to win the item, because now the price is about $130 but, it will definitely raise as the deadline gets closer.

The auction says nothing about it appearing on Lost, but we're sure there are many Lost fans out there that will bid high for this item, we all know what happens in the very last minutes of an eBay auction. We're going to keep an eye on it, anyways. We really need it, the hidden (is)land is waiting for us!

We have been trying to find the comic, but it seems that it's going to be a tough task. It's not a popular comic, so there aren't many copies of it, being a late 50's publication. We haven't found it in any comic store or websitet (scanned). However, we are not going to give up in our search, and will keep on digging up the internet to find it. We are pretty sure that the Mystery Tales 40 contains important clues for the Lost's plot, so we are going to find them out!

If you know someone that has the comic and would want to share its content with us, please contact us ASAP.

As we could see in the Lost episode 4x11: Cabin Fever, a young John Locke was challenged by an almost inmortal Richard Alpert,to choose some items that already belonged to him.

There are several theories about it: Buddhist rituals, resurrection...

It's a fact that one of the most perturbing items was a 1956 Atlas Mystery Tales #40 comic, in which cover appeared a man completely freaked out by the vision of a city in the clouds, floating above another city. Another thing to note from this cover is the almost invisible text in the bottom of it that reads Airlines. So we know the guy is looking through a plane's window.

Maybe you're one of those people who says this is only a mystery story for kids, that it's not relevant in the Lost plot. Are you really sure? Nothing in Lost is coincidential.

Let me show you something. Here you can see the Lost 4th season promotional poster, with  all the main characters from our favourite island in it, surrounded by the great and deep ocean. Do you see anything weird on this image? No? Let's take a closer view of a part of it, or even better, lets put it upside down, and see what happens with that big chunk of sea water on the lower half of the image. Actually, let's put it side by side with the Mystery Tales comic cover.

They looks almost the same! What is the relationship between a 1956 old fashioned kids comic and the promotional Lost image? Are they trying to tell us that the island is also hidden? Is that the reason because nobody (until now) is able to arrive to the island?

Too many questions, and only 3 episodes left from this 4th season.

Everything points out to this: we need that comic.
