Zagor LU #179: Povratak mutanta
The secret services want to exploit the powers of Skull, a mutant held in Hellgate. Zagor must escort his old enemy, whose abilities have grown stronger in captivity.
Povratak mutanta brings back Colin Randall, known as Skull, an adversary whose abilities exceed the familiar dangers of the American frontier. Years of imprisonment have not made him harmless: his powers have grown stronger, and official interest offers a route out of Hellgate.
Professor Blaine studies the mutant, while the secret services see his abilities as a tool for their own purposes. Zagor receives the unwelcome assignment of escorting a man he knows as a dangerous enemy.
Burattini combines the return of an old adversary with a story of risky government expediency. Can extraordinary ability be separated from the intentions of its owner? The authorities anticipate practical benefits, the scientist pursues research, and Zagor must consider the safety of everyone placed near the prisoner.
Suspense rests on unequal knowledge and doubts about whether genuine control is possible. Marco Verni’s expressive faces and forceful action emphasise a threat that need not be visible to be effective.
This issue opens the four-part storyline spanning Ludens #179–182, followed by Vojna pratnja, Plamena zamka and the concluding Čovjek s dva mozga.
