Blake en Mortimer

The long-running Franco-Belgian series Blake en Mortimer began in 1962, published by Geïllustreerde Pers, and is most closely associated with its creator, Edgar P. Jacobs, who both wrote and illustrated the series. This classic adventure strip follows two British heroes—a scientist and a military intelligence officer—as they face extraordinary threats blending science fiction, espionage, and historical mystery. Jacobs' meticulous, ligne claire artwork and intricate plotting established the series as a cornerstone of European comics, celebrated for its elegant storytelling and imaginative, globe-spanning escapades.
