Spirou #1512

In "La Diligence [partie 9]", Lucky Luke takes on the high-stakes job of guarding a gold shipment from Denver to San Francisco, as the Wells Fargo company seeks to restore its reputation after repeated attacks on its coaches. With a cast of familiar faces including Jolly Jumper, Hank Bully, Scat Thumb, and the ever-diplomatic M. Oakleaf, the journey promises tension, humor, and the kind of frontier chaos only a western adventure can deliver.

In 1757, Lieutenant Christian Vanel commands the corvette Albatroz on a rescue mission in the East Indies. When the merchant ship Estrela do Sul vanishes without a trace, Vanel and his crew land on an island ruled by ancient rituals and deadly secrets. As the captain dies suddenly, sailors disappear, and a corrupt governor hides a conspiracy with the Kanamas tribe, Vanel must unravel the truth with the help of a young indigenous woman—before the temple of crocodiles claims them all.
