Keren continued the account of Janno’s accident. “Janno never had a chance. he smashed straight into the other fellow.” “By a near- miracle, he escaped with his life. An ambulance was quickly on the scene.” “Janno was rushed back to the hospital.” His condition calls for an immediate blood transfusion. Keren finished his story and added a comment which brought a gleam of interest to the wise old eyes of his companion. As we all know, Janno made a good, quick recovery. But here’s the interesting part . . . The physician who attended him at the scene of the accident was the same fellow who attended Roffa. His name—Torga ! An immediate call to the hospital brought a negative reply. The physician Torga has been missing for several days. Get on to the police ! Tell them to find Torga ! A description of the missing physician was flashed to all corners of the sprawling Trigan Empire. . . . Height seventeen thrumms, weight one hundred and three sarnas. Fresh complexion. No special distinguishing features. Meanwhile, back on the dread isle of Despair, in the grim prison-fortress that crowned its craggy heights . . . Janno and Roffa both heard the secret voice in their inner ears. You will now commence the next part of the master plan ! Obedient to the strange power that ruled their lives, the two unlocked the cell and left it—like guard and convict. In this manner, they reached the courtyard without meeting anyone. The black tower ! inside that tower is the object of all our efforts ! And here’s how we get into the tower. Listen . . . Some time later, Janno stepped out of the shadows and was challenged. Halt ! Who approaches ? Then Roffa leapt from above like a bird of prey. Uuuuuuh ! Unlocking the massive door of the black tower, the two comrades entered. And Janno addressed the prisoner who stood within. We have come to rescue you ! This instalment was originally published in Look and Learn issue no. 714 on 20 September 1975.
