Epix #5/1984

"Fällan vid Howrah-bron" delivers a tense, atmospheric Western thriller from Milo Manara and Horst Schröder, with Manara handling both art and inks in a striking, detailed style. As a violent brawl erupts in Fort Laramie’s saloon, Indianflickan Vita kaninen races to stop a coming massacre, while "Pappersman," the British sergeant, the rotund pastor, and the defiant Indian face execution—only for the sky to darken and rain to begin, shifting the tide in unpredictable ways. The cover, a bold, hand-drawn piece by Robert Crumb, captures the story’s raw, frontier edge.
