Albi dell'Intrepido #1601
"Prima che sia troppo tardi" is a gripping, socially aware story from Albi dell'Intrepido #1601 (1976), where a newly minted chemistry graduate confronts the moral weight of his father’s ambitious factory project. With no flashy heroes or supernatural twists, the tale hinges on quiet courage and the difficult choice between progress and safety—set against the real-world backdrop of 1976 Italy. The typeset lettering keeps the focus on the narrative’s urgent tone, making this a standout moment in a long-running series.
