Die Abenteuer von Blake und Mortimer

In the early 2000s, German publisher Salleck Publications revived the classic Franco-Belgian adventure series Die Abenteuer von Blake und Mortimer, issuing 12 issues between 2000 and 2017. This edition re-presented the iconic, meticulously researched tales of Captain Blake and Professor Mortimer, originally created by Edgar P. Jacobs, for a new generation of German readers. While the series itself did not introduce new stories, it served as a faithful, high-quality reprint of the beloved Cold War-era adventures that defined the genre of scientific-military intrigue. For fans, this release was a key moment in making the complete, canonical adventures of the two British heroes accessible in a single, consistent format.
