Tex Willer LU #190: Bijeg
Frank Harter’s gang takes Kit Carson hostage. To save him, Tex must break Jacky Blount out of Agua Negra prison. Only Blount knows where the loot from an old robbery is hidden.
In The Escape, Kit Carson is tracking the outlaw Frank Harter in Texas when he falls into the hands of Harter’s gang. They hold Carson hostage and give Tex one condition for his release: he must break their former accomplice Jacky Blount out of Agua Negra prison.
The gang wants what only Blount knows: where the loot from an earlier robbery is hidden. As long as he is behind bars, they cannot get to the money, so they use Tex’s loyalty to Carson to make him do the work for them. The Ranger must arrange the escape of a man he would ordinarily be expected to keep in custody. Even if Tex gets Blount out, Carson remains in the hands of the men who set the terms of the exchange.
Tito Faraci brings two aims together: Tex wants his friend back, and the outlaws want Tex to lead them to the money. Breaking Blount out is only the first part of the job. The race to reach Carson continues in the next issue.
