Tex Willer LU #191: Odbrojene minute
Tex has only a few hours to bring escaped prisoner Jacky Blount to his former accomplices. They are holding Kit Carson hostage, and ambushes threaten the exchange.
In Time Is Running Out, Tex Willer has already broken Jacky Blount out of Agua Negra prison. But his friend Kit Carson is still in the hands of the outlaws. To free him, Tex has only a few hours to bring the fugitive to his former accomplices. They need Blount because he alone knows where the loot from an old robbery is hidden.
The route to the exchange runs through rocky country where attackers can easily lie in wait. Every ambush costs time, and Tex cannot simply ride straight to Carson’s rescue: he has to bring the man the outlaws are demanding in return. Carson’s life depends on both men getting there in time.
In the conclusion to The Escape, Tito Faraci shifts the challenge from getting out of prison to completing the journey on the kidnappers’ terms. José Ortiz draws a landscape where every rock can conceal an attacker, making even a brief delay dangerous for the hostage.
