Nove inchieste nel buio per Mister Charade

Nove inchieste nel buio per Mister Charade

Reso cieco da un ganster, l’ex ispettore di Scotland Yard James Charade vive una seconda vita ideando cruciverba per diverse riviste. La vocazione per le indagini, però, lo riporta spesso a collaborare con i vecchi colleghi, per i quali la sua mente analitica è un ausilio prezioso e insostituibile per risolvere i più disparati misteri. Creato nel 1971 da Alfredo Castelli per i disegni di Renato Polese, Mister Charade si presenta ai lettori in un unico volume che propone tutte le storie realizzate dal suo ideatore.
