Tex Willer LU #195: Misija u Meksiku
Tex, Carson, Kit and Tiger cross into Mexico to save a group of Coyotero Apaches from scalp hunters. The chase leads them to Tecopah and the enigmatic Captain Larriego.
In Mission in Mexico, Army Captain Masters gives Tex, Carson, Kit and Tiger a covert assignment: cross the border and bring a group of Coyotero Apaches back to their reservation in Arizona before scalp hunters find them. A young lieutenant named Baines joins the party. The mission is unofficial, but the rurales, the rural police in Tecopah, are supposed to help them.
Their first encounter with the scalp hunters in the Mexican mountains ends in a bloody fight. Tex follows some of them to Tecopah, where he meets Captain Larriego, the officer in command of the men who are meant to help him. Larriego is hard to read, and Tex has to decide how much he can rely on the promised support.
Mauro Boselli builds the suspense around a mission in which speed matters as much as trust. Tex has to reach the Coyoteros before their pursuers do, and after the first clash he also has to work out whom he can count on in Tecopah. The story concludes in the next issue.
