Zagor Original #22: Tajna vjetrenjače
An old windmill on Lake Michigan conceals a slave trade. Zagor and Chico discover that a lumberjack called Timber Bill buys captives there and set out to free them.
In The Secret of the Windmill, Zagor and Chico come across an old mill on the shore of Lake Michigan. The people they meet there drive them away, and the hostile reception makes Zagor suspicious. He soon discovers why strangers are unwelcome: the windmill serves as a base for slave traders.
One of their buyers is Timber Bill, a lumberjack who takes captives from the traders. Once Zagor and Chico learn of his involvement, they must find a way to free the prisoners and put a stop to a business that profits both the sellers and their buyer. The windmill, which at first seemed like a place to take shelter, becomes the center of the confrontation.
Guido Nolitta builds the story from an unsettling encounter to the discovery of what happens behind closed doors. Gallieno Ferri’s artwork makes the windmill’s isolation part of the plot: it keeps the trade out of sight and makes it harder for Zagor and Chico to reach the captives.
