Plot and script: Guido Nolitta
Artwork: Guglielmo Letteri
Cover: Aurelio Galleppini

During the night, among the ruins of El Morisco’s house, destroyed by mysterious beings, Tex meets Eusebio, the scholar’s assistant. El Morisco, sheltered in a grotto, tells the ranger about the Jaguar Men’s attack, led by a fanatic disguised as Tezcalipoca, a sinister Aztec divinity! The madman had taken a precious pre-Colombian codex from the “brujo” and kidnapped Kit Willer. Since part of the manuscript is kept in the San Diego mission, Tex and El Morisco depart to anticipate the murderers’ moves, discovering that they have slaughtered a military outpost on their way.
