The Adventures of Blake & Mortimer #1
In "The Time Trap," Professor Mortimer finds himself ensnared in a deadly inheritance from a long-dead adversary: a time machine rigged with booby traps. Swept through prehistoric jungles teeming with dinosaurs, the shadowed halls of medieval castles, and a scorched, post-apocalyptic future, Mortimer must outwit the machine’s deadly mechanisms before time itself leaves him stranded. Written by Edgar P. Jacobs and Jean-Jacques Surbeck, with art and inks by Jacobs, this 1989 adventure blends suspense and wonder in a journey across eras. The cover, also by Jacobs, captures the moment of peril with his signature precision.
