Blek LU #48: Misterij sokola / Brodolomac / Izgubljena diližansa
A condemned man, lost treasure and secret plans for a French landing draw Blek into three adventures. Greedy accomplices and British pursuers threaten both individual lives and the patriot cause.
Misterij sokola collects three adventures linking individual danger with the American patriot cause. The title story concerns Jack the Falcon, condemned to death by the British. His children arrange an escape, but the men they hire have greedy intentions of their own.
In Brodolomac, the destruction of the trappers’ camp leads Blek and his companions towards treasure that could help rearm the patriots. Izgubljena diližansa introduces secret plans for a French landing and a British search for an unidentified messenger. The stakes expand from rescuing one man to safeguarding information of military importance.
Carlo Cedroni draws the first two stories, written by Maurizio Torelli. Marcel Navarro and Jean-Yves Mitton create the longer closing adventure. Their contributions offer an opportunity to compare different approaches to Blek within a single volume.
The collection brings together unreliable allies, destroyed strongholds and secrets that must be kept from the enemy. Physical courage remains essential, but the adventures also depend on judging character, uncovering concealed motives and acting before an opponent gains the advantage.
