Lanciostory #27

In a tense game of high-stakes betrayal, two business partners each hire the same assassin to eliminate the other—unaware they’ve both chosen the same man to carry out their secret plan. Written and drawn with sharp, deliberate pacing, this 1975 tale from Lanciostory #27 unfolds like a slow-burning fuse, where every decision carries double meaning and trust is the first casualty.

In a quiet Italian town, five months of terror unfold as young women are murdered—one after another—with no clues to the killer’s identity, only a single orchid left behind at each scene. The mystery deepens as the pattern grows too precise to ignore, and the orchid becomes a chilling signature no one can explain.

In the brutal chaos of the Simba uprising, where violence and terror reign, Elosie and others find unexpected refuge in the unlikely protection of a mercenary band led by a man known only as "Solo." With no name, no past, and a reputation forged in fire, Solo and his men stand as a grim shield in a world gone mad.
