Blek LU #83: Tajni agent Washingtona / Blekove zaruke
Washington’s secret plan and an unusual engagement clause draw Blek into two contrasting adventures. Wartime intrigue and a threatened family estate combine suspense, ingenuity and humour.
In Tajni agent Washingtona, British forces and Prussian mercenaries defeat the patriots, but Washington plans a response. In Blekove zaruke, Emmy O’Selnick must become engaged before turning twenty or lose her estate to cousins willing to supply the British.
Military strategy and personal circumstances provide two distinct sources of suspense. The opening adventure places Blek within the wider struggle for American independence, where the enemy’s superior numbers and weapons demand an alternative to direct confrontation. The title itself foregrounds secret operations and the importance of information.
The second episode brings the conflict into family life. An apparently private engagement acquires political significance, while a birthday deadline adds pressure. This unusual condition creates scope for an adventure combining property interests, resourcefulness and humour.
Alfio Consoli and Carlo Cedroni create the title story, while André Amouriq writes and draws Blekove zaruke. A further instalment of Kinowa completes the volume, adding another strand of Italian western storytelling alongside Blek’s resistance to British authority.
