Skippern #14/1954

"Diamantmysteriet" kicks off in a quiet Norwegian village where Obersten’s peculiar habit of carving hearts into trees takes a strange turn when the wood itself seems to hold secrets. Written and illustrated by Chic Young, this 1954 tale from Allers Forlag unfolds with a touch of whimsy and mystery, as the Obersten’s ritual leads him to an unexpected discovery in the river—and a surprising twist in the heart of the forest.
