The Return of Cain

Just finished reading "Zagor - The Return of Cain" by Mauro Boselli and Stefano Andreucci, published by Epicenter Comics in May 2023, which collects the Zagor Comics running from July-September 2000.
The swordsman Cain was last seen in the epic Lovecraftian "Terror From The Sea" saga which saw Cain sacrificing himself to save his comrades from Dagon by plunging his sword deep within the depths of the eldritch god.
A weak and exhausted Cain is washed up on a distant shore and survives 10-days and nights of unspeakable terror for the undead as he builds a raft to escape the island.
Cain eventually is reunited with his beloved Marada who rescues him from slavers, and they set off on her quest to find the lost Scepter of Tinan, the legendary queen of Lost Atlantis.
Meanwhile Zagor, Chico, Digger Bill, and Dembe are on a river in Africa looking for their lost friend Jacques when they are attacked by warriors from a cannibal tribe and once safely(?) on shore, Zagor uses the tactics he refined as the King of Darkwood back in the states to scare away the cannibals.
Cain's and Zagor's paths soon cross, and Zagor is happy to learn that his friend is still alive and join forces with Cain and Marada to cross the desert to find the Scepter of Tinan, which is guarded by the undead.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
