With a runtime of 76 minutes, "Mordaugen" is the second longest of all LARRY BRENT publications from R&B, only "The Madness Spawn of Dr. Satanas" is 3 minutes longer. The sound quality is again top-notch, and there is once again a "visionary" and a "nostalgia" cover, which earns a big thumbs up.
It stays up there, as the first tracks of a total of 25 (!) excite me. In June 2012 (weren't we already in September in the ninth episode??!), Larry Brent, alias X-RAY-3, must investigate in New York, while his friend Iwan Kunaritschew, alias X-Ray-7, and Morna Ulbrandson, alias X-GIRL-C, are on the road in Ireland. The threads come together as Larry Brent searches for the missing scientist Mike Coogan, and the Russian, together with the Swedish fairy, wants to uncover a series of murders.
Unfortunately, the tension of the first 15-20 minutes dissipates towards the middle, as more is told than drastic actions take place. Thankfully, there is Linda Pokins, voiced by Denise Siebeneichler, whose screaming, sometimes perhaps a bit exaggerated, makes me pay attention again. I never noticed this in the previous episodes, as Denise Siebeneichler is not speaking for the first time in a LARRY BRENT episode. Just like Kaspar Eichel, Helge Sidow, Nils Weyland, Uschi Hugo, and Michael von Rospatt, who appear repeatedly in different roles.
Towards the end, the tension picks up briefly again, as the showdown is quick, too quick, and is over again.
The authors must have realized this and quickly added an outro, which is really bad. As if the two PSA agents are shy and embarrassed in front of a woman.... That doesn't work at all. Not with Larry Brent, who is more like James Bond, and not with Iwan Kunaritschew, Mr. Iron Fist Vitali Klitschko himself.
