DARKWOOD EAGLE! What's the meaning of the mysterious symbol that stands out on the cloak of the Spirit with the Hatchet? What is it, apart from the sense of guilt springing from his father's massacre of Indians, that has led Zagor to become an avenger? In the year 2001, which celebrates forty years of his presence on news-stands, Zagor reveals to his faithful readers the origin of the legend. Thanks to the gripping scripts by Moreno Burattini and the marvellous artwork by Gallieno Ferri, we will finally come to know the magical, heart-rending experiences underlying Zagor's mission to Darkwood and we will be witness to his first meeting with a bitter enemy, the evil sakem Kanoxem, in the special "Darkwood Year Zero"! The March issue, "Plotone d'esecuzione", with a script by Mauro Boselli and artwork by Massimo Pesce, contains the concluding part of the adventure in Mexico, which involved the special participation of his friend and enemy Guitar Jim, amid bandidos, warriors and special forces of the Mexican army. Jim finds himself facing a difficult choice: either seize the gold destined to the irregular troops and gain the love of beautiful Pearl or retain the esteem and friendship of Zagor, who runs the risk of being shot. During the journey back to Darkwood, in the story entitled "La Nave Nera", by Boselli and Raffaele Della Monica, Zagor and Cico are on board t he Paloma, Captain Vega's ship, and they are crossing a stretch of sea where ships disappear without a trace, an area haunted by the grim legend of the Black Ship. Our heroes have to face mutiny, sharks, storms, Caribe cannibals, Captain Van Zant's ruffianly crew and... vampires!
