Zagor Original #54: Buntovni vojnik
Disguised as soldiers, Zagor and Chico follow deserters to a secret outpost, where Zagor discovers a gold mine and learns of a man known as the Owl.
In Buntovni vojnik (A Rebel Soldier), Zagor and Chico put on army uniforms to find out where the men deserting from Outpost No. 11 are going. The disguise lets them get close to people who know how the escapes are arranged. The trail leads to the jailer, who helps the fugitives make their way to the same destination: an unnamed outpost.
Zagor gets inside and discovers a gold mine. A man known as the Owl is running the operation. The mine explains why what first looked like a series of unrelated escapes all lead to the same place. Someone is clearing the way for the deserters and putting them to use once they get there. Zagor now knows where the men have gone and what awaits them, but he still has to find out who is behind it all.
Guido Nolitta takes the investigation from an army jail to a hidden mine. In Franco Donatelli’s artwork, the uniforms let Zagor and Chico blend in, but one wrong move could give them away to the people arranging the escapes. The question of who hides behind the Owl’s name carries over into Narrow Canyon.
