Blake et Mortimer

A long-running Franco-Belgian adventure series, Blake et Mortimer follows the globe-trotting exploits of Captain Francis Blake, a British intelligence officer, and his physicist friend, Professor Philip Mortimer, alongside their ally Ahmed Nasir. Launched in 1985 by Edgar P. Jacobs, the series was later sustained by writers like Yves Sente and Jean-Luc Fromental, with artists such as André Juillard and Peter van Dongen carrying forward its classic, detailed ligne claire style. Rooted in mid-century sci-fi and espionage, it remains a cornerstone of European comics for its elegant, suspenseful storytelling.
