Blek LU #114: Crne marame / Dezertiranja
Blek faces pirates in Crne marame and helps colonists condemned to forced labour in Dezertiranja. Two adventures combine maritime action with resistance to British oppression. Kinowa also features.
In Crne marame, Blek becomes a corsair and confronts pirates. Dezertiranja presents another challenge: freeing colonists unjustly imprisoned by British redcoats and subjected to forced labour.
Protecting the vulnerable connects these two adventures, although each develops that theme in a different setting. The first embraces the maritime adventure tradition, while the second centres on captivity and liberation. Their contrasting premises offer two approaches to a familiar heroic ideal: Blek’s willingness to risk his own safety to help others.
Crne marame was written by Svetozar Obradović and drawn by Sibin Slavković, working under the pseudonym S. Žunjević. Pavel Koza provides the artwork for Dezertiranja. Their contributions make this volume an interesting meeting of artists associated with the Yugoslav production of Blek, allowing readers to encounter distinct creative approaches within the same series.
Readers of the former Yugoslav publication Lunov magnus strip may remember the title story from issue 492, where it appeared under the same title. The two Blek adventures are accompanied by a Kinowa supplement, extending the volume’s adventure content to another classic comics character.
