Blek LU #15: Otok gusara

L’isola dei corsari is the fifteenth volume in Ludens’s Blek series and belongs to the original EsseGesse cycle. Its title brings pirate themes into Blek’s adventure world, while individual chapter titles introduce further mysterious and dramatic elements.

Confirmed instalments include The Mysterious Barbara, The Tragic Revelation, The Fort of the Unarmed and The Tavern of Revenge. These suggest varied adventure material, although the titles alone cannot establish the characters’ relationships or the precise sequence of events.

The Blek series is recognised for its powerful hero, his companions Roddy and Professor Occultis, and its combination of action and humour. Clear storytelling and short serial instalments characterise the classic period represented by this volume.

The edition will interest readers following Blek’s early adventures and collectors completing the Ludens series. The corresponding material appeared in the Yugoslav LMS editions as Krik sove and Traperova reč.
