Blek LU #37: Zmijsko jezero / Sinovi Manitua / Išijas
The British prepare to attack the trappers’ camp, and Blek must prevent disaster. Zmijsko jezero collects three adventures featuring wartime intrigue, dangerous opponents and the familiar companions’ humour.
In Zmijsko jezero, a British spy measures the distance to the trappers’ camp. The enemy plans to mount a cannon on a raft and destroy their stronghold.
Danger begins with quietly gathered intelligence, before fighting even starts. The title adventure builds suspense around preparations for an attack: knowledge of the landscape becomes a weapon, and the trappers’ place of refuge becomes a potential target. Blek’s task concerns the safety of his whole community.
The premise suits a series in which forests and waterways are more than scenery. Terrain shapes movement, defence and surprise, while wartime intrigue threatens the familiar companions and their friends.
Sinovi Manitua and Išijas complete this three-story collection from the period following the original EsseGesse trio. Franco Frescura and Leonello Martini provide the scripts, with artwork by Carlo Cedroni.
Readers of the Yugoslav editions may recognise material from the LMS issues Zmijsko jezero, Sinovi Manitua and Vapasov tomahavk. Together, the adventures offer action, friendship and humour, with Blek, Roddy and Professor Occultis at the heart of the series.
