About the series
A Cinebook series collecting the classic Franco-Belgian adventure strip, The Adventures of Blake & Mortimer follows the globe-trotting exploits of British intelligence captain Francis Blake and his friend, physicist Philip Mortimer, as they battle mad scientists and shadowy conspiracies. Originally created by Edgar P. Jacobs in the mid-20th century, this ongoing English-language edition (2007–present, 30 issues) brings together Jacobs's foundational stories with later work by writers like Yves Sente and Jérôme Saincantin, and artists such as André Juillard and Ted Benoît. It matters as a definitive, accessible presentation of a cornerstone of European comics, blending elegant ligne claire art with sophisticated, cinematic adventure.
