Zagor – Kolor #7: „Wandering“ Fitzyjeva pravda
After defending blind Adah, Zagor recalls his youth with Wandering Fitzy and the hunt for a killer who carved smiles into his victims’ faces.
In Morbovska prijetnja’s preceding issue, “Wandering” Fitzyjeva pravda (Wandering Fitzy’s Justice), Zagor defends Adah, a blind woman mistreated for befriending a disfigured recluse. The people nearby call him a monster because of the scar that fixes his face in a permanent grin. Zagor has known them both since his youth.
To explain how they met, Zagor tells Chico about the years when he was still Pat Wilding, roaming Darkwood with his mentor, Wandering Fitzy. His account brings together a clash with Cayuga warriors and the hunt for a killer who carved smiles into his victims’ faces. A clue from the past casts new light on the scar by which people judge the recluse.
Giorgio Giusfredi builds the story around a question: why is Zagor willing to stand up for a man everyone else fears? The return to his youth also gives Fitzy room to show how he helped Pat learn whom to trust when fear and rumours had already turned people against someone. Mauro Laurenti connects the two timelines through the same image: a smile that is a clue to a crime in one and a reason for rejection in the other.
