Tex Willer LU #142: U neprijateljskom logoru

In In the Enemy Camp, a battle between the Shoshone and the Blackfoot interrupts Tex’s captivity. The fighting gives him a chance to break free. Once he rejoins his companions, the four friends pick up the trail they lost when he was captured.

They are after Pierre Charbonne, a trader whose dealings are tied to the interests of a powerful Canadian fur company. Charbonne had the advantage while Tex was being held. Now that all four riders are back together, the trader is running out of time to get away.

Claudio Nizzi builds the finale in two stages. The battle first opens a way out for Tex, then the story returns to the man the friends set out to catch. In Fernando Fusco’s drawings, fighting in the camp gives way to a pursuit on horseback. This issue concludes the story of the French trader.
