While visiting her friend Ingrid in Köln, Yoko finds herself thrust in the middle of a mystery when a young Japanese woman is attacked in the cathedral, and whispers a few words before passing out – notably ‘Rheingold’, the German name of a Wagner opera. Having decided to investigate, Yoko finds signs that the victim had probably set an explosive charge somewhere, and discovers that ‘Rheingold’ is also the name of … a very special train!
This series actually became a firm favourite a long time ago. Everything from bridges, old locomotives, buildings and the scenery are immaculately rendered as usual. However, the characters look somewhat different...or that may just be me?
That written we have the usual cracking story involving our heroine and a ninja type who kidnaps her, a chase on a train and some very nice twists in plot. It was fun. Well drawn and written and I looked through the artwork twice so that made me happy. Yoko Tsuno always gets a recommendation from me!
