Vill Vest #3/1979

Kaptein Colbert arrives at the fort, stirring trouble from the start. When the group sets out on a hunting trip, Windy suddenly recognizes him as a dangerous criminal—just as Susan and Colbert vanish into the wilderness.

In a grim frontier prison, Kaptein Miki hears a haunting tale of Viking glory from a chained prisoner, sparking a desperate bid for freedom. As he flees, he's captured by Windy and Salasso, now under the sway of tyrant Wothan, while Kaptein Colbert watches from the shadows—his loyalty to the brutal warlord at odds with the memory of a queen named Ester.

In the dusty aftermath of a brutal showdown, Kaptein Miki rides into Taushetens Dal, drawn by a haunting vision of a speaking face in the night sky. With the prize of the tournament won and the shadow of Kaptein Colbert still lingering, Miki must now face a mystery deeper than any frontier feud—guided only by a silent summons and the enigmatic presence of Grev Wanger, whose past may be far from buried.

In the rugged silence of Taushetens Dal, Kaptein Miki follows Windy [Grill] and Salasso [Groll] into a forgotten valley where ancient viking statues stand like silent witnesses. There, in a hidden grotto, he meets the enigmatic Bahal, the vismann, who speaks of a long-lost legacy—and the mysterious glass chest containing Dronning Ester.
