Zagor LU #153: Strava i užas u muzeju

Strava i užas u muzeju continues the adventure surrounding the Sumerian antiquities brought to Richmond by explorer Dexter Green. An ancient ruler’s mummy and the objects from his tomb attract people whose interests extend well beyond scholarly curiosity.

Followers of Namtar’s cult regard the removal of the remains as sacrilege demanding bloody revenge. Meanwhile, Green’s rival Professor Richter takes an interest in a mysterious diadem, and Mexican adventurer Velasquez further complicates events. Zagor, Chico and Bat Batterton face several threats at once, uncertain how their enemies’ intentions fit together.

Mauro Boselli combines archaeological mystery with criminal investigation and horror. A museum intended for studying the past becomes a dangerous setting where each artefact may offer another clue. Religious fanaticism, rivalry and possessiveness drive the plot, deepening uncertainty about the true source of the threat.

Gaetano and Gaspare Cassaro illustrate tense encounters and frightening scenes among the museum collections. This is the middle instalment of the three-part story begun in Tajna Sumerana, with the conclusion following in Stupica i otrov.
