THE ADVENTURE OF BLAKE & MORTIMER The Complete Collection Volume 3

The two stories contained in this third volume are firmly within the realm of science-fiction. And yet, Atlantis Mystery, with its prehistoric monsters, futuristic machines and subterranean lost civilizations, stands in stark contrast with S.O.S. Meteors, where the action takes place entirely within Paris and the surrounding countryside. A falsely mundane environment demonstrates Jacobs's ability to summon adventure anywhere! The 32 pages of extra material highlight, among other things, the author's creative process and sources of inspirations. Created by Edgar Pierre Jacobs. His first comic, The U Ray (translated by Cinebook) was noticed by Hergé, and Jacobs became his first assistant, helping to illustrate Tintin in the Congo, Tintin in America, The Blue Lotus, King Ottokar's Sceptre, The Seven Crystal Balls, and Prisoners of the Sun, before being given free rein to work on his own series. Handsome oversized hardcover.
