1 I bassifondi di New York 05.1998 219 pages In this light-hearted nod to the Bonelli Universe, a group of New York police officers in Zagor bear the names and some traits of characters from the Nick Raider series. Specifically, the officers are named Nick, Art, and Martin (a slight alteration from Marvin), and one of them even uses the catchphrase “By Abraham’s beard!,” famously associated with Martin in Nick Raider stories. This is not a canonical crossover, but a playful meta-reference, where Zagor briefly intersects with the spirit of another Bonelli title without narrative justification. It showcases the editorial humor and shared creative DNA across Bonelli’s world-building.
