Tex Willer LU #197: Stražar
Fleeing Apache pursuers, Tex and Carson meet a Confederate officer who does not know the Civil War is over. They help him return home to reclaim his plantation.
In The Sentinel, Tex Willer and Kit Carson take refuge in the canyons of Mesa Serrada while fleeing Apache pursuers. There they meet a Confederate officer who has no idea that the American Civil War ended years ago. While he lived cut off from the outside world, he was presumed dead back home and his plantation passed into other hands.
The Rangers help him return and try to recover his property. His appearance threatens men who made their fortunes after his family was killed. The officer now faces a different fight: he must find out what happened while he was away and confront the people who would rather have him stay dead in the eyes of the law.
Claudio Nizzi builds the story around a man still living in wartime who returns to a world that has moved on. In Miguel Ángel Repetto’s drawings, the canyons first offer shelter from pursuit, then show how far the sentinel has been cut off from the life he hopes to reclaim. The story continues in A Soldier Returns.
