Zagor – Kolor #6: Sablasti za „Digging“ Billa

In Sablasti za „Digging“ Billa (Ghosts for “Digging” Bill), Zagor’s old acquaintance believes there is treasure in a mansion beneath Lake Weir. The lake formed when a landslide blocked a river, and local stories say the people who died in the flood still haunt the house. “Digging” Bill is determined to search it anyway.

Zagor helps Bill evade rivals who want to reach the treasure first. As the race for the loot gathers pace, unsettling events near the lake lead Zagor to investigate the house and the fate of its occupants. The hunt raises a second question: what happened in the mansion on the night the waters swallowed it?

Samuel Marolla brings out two sides of Bill: he can never resist a story about buried treasure, and he knows when keeping something to himself might give him an advantage. Bill’s resourcefulness adds moments of humour, while Paolo Bisi makes the sunken house the source of the story’s unease. To Bill it promises a fortune; to Zagor it holds clues to a tragedy that the flood may have concealed.
