Nathan Never #68

In "Il pianeta rosso," Nathan, Jerry, and Gloria land on Mars seeking their old friend Rufus Kelsen—only to find him already dead, felled by the brutal commissioner Bourget and his mechanical hound P’Tichou after being infected by the Strikeshape virus. With help from the resourceful twins Twinky and Pinky, who lend them a vehicle, Nathan tracks Diana to the hidden Gopher underground colony, but must now face the planet’s legendary guardian, Proteus, to reach her. Written by Michele Medda and illustrated by Germano Bonazzi, with a striking cover by Roberto De Angelis, this 1997 issue delivers tense, atmospheric sci-fi mystery in the heart of the Nathan Never series.
