Zagor – Kolor #4: Tajna pukovnika Perryja

In the early nineteenth century, the Perry family arrives on the American frontier. A tragedy there changes the course of the future colonel’s life and leads him to practise medicine in the army. Years later, Colonel Perry still has questions about what happened. With Zagor’s help, he goes back over the events that shaped his life.

In Tajna pukovnika Perryja (The Secret of Colonel Perry), Antonio Zamberletti tells the story across two periods. One introduces Perry before he wore a uniform or trained as a doctor; the other follows a man who, despite years of service, still has to reckon with his memories. As the reasons for his choice emerge, a familiar army doctor takes centre stage in a more personal story.

Domenico and Stefano Di Vitto draw a Western whose suspense comes from the gap between what Perry remembers and what he still wants to know. At the heart of the episode is the connection between a family tragedy and a calling to medicine: the decision Perry made in his youth gave his life a direction, but it left him with questions he could never put aside.
