Blek LU #105: Duh Castelmorea / Veliki derbi / Žaoka
Three Blek adventures: he is feared dead after a battle, enters a Boston horse race in disguise, and encounters a girl whose voices tell her to free the country.
In The Ghost of Castlemore, Blek visits the camp of the patriot Joseph Vale. The British learn of his arrival and send two regiments. After a fierce battle, both Vale and Blek are believed dead. When Blek reappears, the explanation lies in Professor Occultis’s ingenuity.
In The Great Derby, King George III stages a horse race in Boston and sends two of his finest riders. Blek enters in disguise, and the field also includes Tocomak, a rider from the Great Lakes region. The governor’s representative tries to gain an advantage with a substance devised by Occultis.
The third story, Giovannina la freccia, plays on the story of Joan of Arc. A young woman hears voices telling her to free the country. Her mission puts her in danger, and Occultis makes sure she does not end up at the stake.
