Amazonia 1
Brazilië, 1949. Na een zware kanotocht langs een zijtak van de Amazonerivier, bereikt een fotograaf een Engels ziekenhuis. Voor hij sterft, vertrouwt hij de dominee van het ziekenhuis een aantal bizarre foto’s toe. De dominee brengt ze naar het Engels consulaat in Manaus, de hoofdstad van Amazonia. Op een van de foto’s staat een wezen dat niets menselijks heeft... Meer is er niet nodig om MI6 en hun speciale agente, Kathy Austin, te alarmeren!

Приключенията на мис Кати Остин от М6 продължават.
След сравнително успешните ѝ мисии в Кения и Намибия, нейния любим "чичо" я изпраща в Бразилия, където отново се случват необясними събития и тя трябва да ги разнищи. Всички следи водят към тайнствените джунгли около река Амазонка.
Естествено, по това време из Южна Америка още щъкат много нацисти, които също са заинтригувани от случващото се.
Страхотен арт!

What began as the series Kenya, and continued in Namibia, makes a very welcome return with Amazonia. On the face of it, these stories look more like a gripping adventure yarn set during the dying days of the British Empire, rather than a science fiction mystery. It's perhaps this unusual mash-up of genres that make the whole thing so captivating and readable, as the characters struggle to make sense of something they have so little frame of reference for.
Kathy, working for the British secret service, is now being sent to South America after a photograph surfaces showing a bizarre humanoid walking amongst a native Amazonian tribe. It's something she accepts to do with reluctance, but her past encounters make her the ideal choice to get to the bottom of this.
But Kathy isn't the only one looking. A group of Germans are on the trail too, and are willing to kill to get what they want. And all this just a few years after the end of World War II.
Although Amazonia isn't illustrated by Leo, Marchal does an exquisite job of evoking his style. There's plenty of exposition and set-up to rattle through, but it's deftly handled, from Kathy's boredom in England to her brawling in the streets of Manaus. By the final pages, she's firmly entrenched in the rainforest and you're right there alongside her.
The potentially alien humanoid's design (it's too early to call what it is) feels very 50s, so very much in keeping with the time period. It's a good fit.
In a nutshell, a cracking start to another escapade. What are you waiting for?

On aime pour le dépaysement plus que pour autre chose, mais on se prend un peu à traquer le mystère avec l’héroïne. Pas mal.
