Get A Life! (the fancomic miniseries NOT presented by Martin Mystère) presents a one pager from issue #23, The Programmed Child, in English.
Martin Mystère recalls an appartently unconsequential episode from his own childhood (as chronicled in "L'uomo programmato")-- years ago, by chance, Martin received a book by Ignatius Donnelly about Atlantis, the lost continent.
That episode kickstarted Martin's interest for unofficial history, impossible archaeology, unhortodox theories about the birth of civilization, and so on: it was the moment his path to become "the detective of the impossible" was set.

Martin believes that episode happened by chance-- but is that even remotely possible, especially considering that "L'uomo programmato" is a tale about a man becoming a pawn of incarnate Destiny, a force which manifests literally in the flesh?
