The Adventures of Blake & Mortimer #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first adventure in the classic Franco-Belgian series, originally serialized in 1953. It follows British intelligence chief Captain Francis Blake and his friend Professor Philip Mortimer as they investigate a mysterious criminal mastermind known only by the yellow 'M' symbol, leading to a thrilling chase across London and into the countryside. The story is a seminal work by Edgar P. Jacobs, blending espionage, science fiction, and adventure in a meticulously detailed narrative style.
"The Yellow M" kicks off a gripping mystery in The Adventures of Blake & Mortimer #1 (2007), a standout entry from the legendary Edgar P. Jacobs, who wrote, drew, inked, and colored this classic tale. When a shadowy criminal begins leaving a chalked yellow M at the scene of flawless crimes in London—then escalates to kidnapping—Blake and Mortimer must unravel a puzzle that defies logic. The cover by Jacobs captures the tension perfectly, a stark, eerie mark against the city’s backdrop.
