Höken #11/1957
"Amiral von Manta" kicks off in a sleepy 1957 with Hökman caught in a fog of exhaustion, stumbling into the wrong office on his way to work—only to be met with an unexpected twist from his boss at Bulgebottom & Co. Written by Harry Shorten and illustrated by Al Fagaly, this quirky tale of mistaken identity and office intrigue is brought to life with sharp, expressive art, while the cover by Dick Dillin and Chuck Cuidera captures the moment with a touch of surreal flair.
In the frozen reaches of the Arctic, Admiral von Manta and his enigmatic ally Tomoja awaken from a decades-long freeze, their colossal warship reforged into the mighty Mantajet. With a devastating new atomic beam and a plan to reshape the world, they stir from the ice with ambitions that could alter history—though the war may be over, their conquest has only just begun.
In this quiet 1957 humor tale from *Höken #11*, Hökman stumbles into the wrong office in the middle of the night, fleeing sleep and the threat of dismissal—only to be caught by his boss, who, instead of firing him, rewards his accidental visit with a raise. A small moment of mistaken identity turns into an unexpected windfall, all in a story that captures the absurdity of office life with gentle, deadpan charm.
In the stark aftermath of a brutal clash, Elden och Pilen awaken Uncas from his fall, only to face a new order: with Svarta Kråkan dead, Röda Månen is chosen as the new chief. Her first decree binds Madera and Listiga Räven to capture, setting the stage for a tense reckoning in the wilds of the frontier.
