A dark dawn whose rays have done terrible things to people's minds, driving them to all sorts of horror. But fear is not the only legacy of those terrible days. All children conceived under the Black Sun's influence carry... peculiarities. In the town of Brightvale, a small group of these children, treated with particular contempt by their community, embark on a hallucinatory journey to discover themselves and their true nature.

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!

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.
