ellingen, Zagor's number one enemy, is a mad scientist, |
or better still the quintessence of all
mad scientists, and what's more, horrible and disfigured. Ahead of his time, this
evil professor has invented every possible technological gadget, from robots to
videos, from computers to flying saucers, partly with the help of a monstrous
extraterrestrial race, the Akkronians. |
 |
| Due to his great misfortune, every time he gets the idea of destroying the world into his head,
professor Hellingen finds Zagor in his way and it all goes wrong. But, with the
stubbornness of a mad scientist, he comes back to face him every time, in adventures
that are poised between |
 |
magic
and science in the Jules Verne style. In one of these adventures Edgar Allan Poe
participates on Zagor's side. He is a "special agent" of "Elsewhere", a secret
section of the American secret service that also appears in the comic strip Martin Mystère.
Baron Rakosi is a vampire, who has moved to Darkwood form Transylvania and
whom Zagor faces in a series of sinister adventures inspired by the classic vampires
of literature and cinema. |
Kandrax the Druid is another non-dead that awakens after thousands of years,
suspended between life and death, to cause |
| mischief in Zagor's world with magic
and human sacrifice.
Mortimer is a criminal genius who prepares diabolical plans together
with his servant Sybil. Unlike those already mentioned, who are the embodiment of
pure evil, Nat Murdo is a baddie but one who has a complex, almost schizophrenic
|
| personality. A murderer
with no scruples, a dashing and swashbuckling adventurer, he has dedicated himself
to evil in order to become rich and win the love of his cousin lady Emma Fraser,
wife of the despised Captain Fraser. During the fight against Zagor, Murdo is
disfigured by fire and his good side gets the upper hand. Now Murdo is fighting for
the |
 |
independence of Scotland under the guise of the legendary Captain Midnight. However, Zagor's usual
enemies are those that threaten peace on the frontier: warmongering officials,
unscrupulous merchants, robbers and disowned Indians.

adventure, where anything is possible! |
