A groundbreaking graphic novel in two parts, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1992 – the first for a comic book. The story intertwines two times: the present (1978–1980s New York) and the past (Poland 1930s–1945).
Together with Chico and Trampi, Zagor helps Pickens free his wife, and eventually clashes with the kidnappers, where he meets the titular Mr. Smith, a strange man who is in fact the real reason for all this complication.
