| The Northwest Territory in the early 1890's: prospector and trapper Maurice Norton makes a surprising discovery; he sees a strange mythological creature wandering around aimlessly through a snow storm, who has no memory of a previous life. Maurice adopts this half-man half-horse of legend, naming him Speed Centaur, and teaches him how to speak English and French. Many years later, in 1939, Maurice Norton dies of natural causes, and Speed Centaur, after burying his oldest friend,journeys to the great world outside. Speed Centaur has superhuman strength and the power of flight. Soon he finds himself over the skyline of New York City. |
