(W/A/CA) Edgar P. Jacobs At long last, a hardback collected edition of Blake & Mortimer is published in English! A renowned physicist and the head of MI5 battle threats to the Empire and solve extraordinary mysteries across the globe. A Cinebook exclusive, not even available in French, this Complete Collection will gather two or three books per volume, in the original publishing order, plus another book's worth of fascinating extra material on the series and the author, as well as sketches and historical notes - unmissable for any true fan! This first volume brings together the three episodes of our heroes' very first adventure, The Secret of the Swordfish, introducing their nemesis Olrik, their habit of saving the world ... and Jacobs's love of airplanes! Each volume will include dozens of pages of extra material-sketches, essays, interviews, and a history of both the series and its author.

(W/A/CA) Edgar P. Jacobs This second volume collects together what are probably the most emblematic Blake & Mortimer titles: the two-parter Mystery of the Great Pyramid, and above all the incredible Yellow M, an instant classic that propelled its author into the ranks of bande dessin?e greats. Graphic quality, narrative rigour, constant dramatic tension, and that touch of the unreal that are the trademark of the series, it's all there. Along with, of course, 40 pages of extra material on the creation of such seminal stories!

(W/A/CA) Edgar P. Jacobs A renowned physicist and the head of MI5 battle threats to the Empire and solve extraordinary mysteries across the globe. The third volume of a long-awaited Complete Collection that will include a wealth of extra material with each one! The two stories contained in this third volume are firmly within the realm of science-fiction. And yet, "Atlantis Mystery", with its prehistoric monsters, futuristic machines and subterranean lost civilizations, stands in stark contrast with "S.O.S. Meteors", the action of which takes place entirely within Paris and the surrounding countryside. A falsely mundane environment that demonstrates Jacobs's ability to summon adventure anywhere! The 32 pages of extra material highlight, among other things, the author's creative process and sources of inspirations.

(W/A/CA) Edgar P. Jacobs The fourth volume of a long-awaited Complete Collection that will include a wealth of extra material with each one! With "The Time Trap", first of the two titles in this fourth volume, Jacobs tackles a quintessential science-fiction trope: time travel. Dinosaurs, medieval knights and an apocalyptic future make it a fabulous adventure, and who cares if, for the first time, Olrik isn't there? "The Affair of the Necklace", on the other hand, is a pure crime story done in ultrarealistic overtones that set it somewhat apart from the rest of the series. Finally, the extra material will shine a light on the dangers of censorship at the time - from which even Jacobs wasn't safe.
