About the series
In Mortensens mondiale mysteries (2017–present, Hauwaerts), a globe-trotting investigator untangles cryptic puzzles across international locales, blending travelogue intrigue with atmospheric detective work. This four-issue series is most closely associated with its creator, Hauwaerts, whose meticulous linework and moody European style ground each case in a distinct sense of place. Though brief, the series stands out for its compact, self-contained storytelling and its focus on cerebral, location-driven mysteries rather than superhero spectacle. It matters as a quiet gem of modern Franco-Belgian comics, offering a thoughtful, visually rich alternative for readers who crave intelligent, globe-spanning puzzles.
