Adventures of Blake and Mortimer GN ( Cinebook) comic books It was published in The United Kingdom is shaken by the revelation of the existence of an espionage network in the country. Only a message carrier by name of Jennings was arrested. He then speculates there is a mole within the Intelligence Service. The same night, at the Centaur Club, Blake explains to Professor Philip Mortimer the difficulty of dismantling such a network where are agents unknown even among themselves. The next day, during the interrogation of Jennings, a photograph of his contact is revealed: to their surprise, it's Captain Blake. The latter escapes with Jennings after a chase on a motorcycle with his former deputy, David Honeychurch. A few hours later, Mortimer is escorted to his apartment which is to be searched by police. Made aware of recent events, he refuses to believe in the betrayal of his friend, even in the face of mounting evidence. He thinks rather that he is in danger and that he must find him to help him. He remembers while the day before, Blake told him about innocuous way of his escape to his cousin Virginia in Yorkshire. After escaping surveillance by the police, he travels, with the help of a wanderer, to the North of England in a freight train to avoid police checks. He then travels to Seanberry by bike where Virginia already seems to know him and waits for him. Meanwhile, Blake and Jennings arrive in London via a postal van. Entering a home in the English countryside, Blake faces his old enemy Colonel Olrik and his man, Jack, killing Jennings. Olrik is not convinced by the betrayal of Blake, and to test it, he orders him to kill Fielding, an agent of MI5 in captivity. Blake does not, and manages to knock out Olrik and Jack at the end of a struggle during which Fielding is seriously injured. In order to escape, he triggers a fire, which forces Olrik and his men to hurriedly leave the residence before firefighters arrive. In Seanberry, Virginia reveals to Mortimer that she is a sleeper agent aka 'cousin' in the service of Blake and that the betrayal of the latter is just a covert operation to infiltrate the spy network. But in the early morning, things get complicated when the Home Secretarythe only person of significance knowing of the operation, is the victim of a car "accident". About to be arrested, the Professor jumps into the convertible with Virginia who manages to lose his pursuers. She takes Mortimer to a farm where he exchanges his clothes with a man like him to deal with the police. Mortimer is driven to Scotland where he finds Blake in a cromlech. He then discovers they are right next to Ardmuir Castle where is a scientific seminar. Blake tells him that Olrik's plan is to kidnap the brightest physicists of the Kingdom and make them work on behalf of a foreign power. The thug then appears with his men and the two friends split up to evade them. The Adventures of Blake and Mortimer: The Francis Blake Affair v. 4, surrounded, jumps into the water from the top of a cliff, while Blake gets in a car, of which the occupant turns out be the Under-Secretary of State Harold Doyle-Smith. Blake then reveals to him his The Adventures of Blake and Mortimer: The Francis Blake Affair v. 4 operation and, arriving at the Castle, Doyle- Smith gives him the benefit of the doubt. But when Blake sees the six fingered hand of industrialist Adrian Deloraine, he recalls Fielding's warning and understands that the Under-Secretary of State is the Mole. Without being able to react, he finds himself locked in a dungeon with his deputy Honeychurch. During this time, Mortimer, who everyone thinks is dead, is stuck on a ledge of the cliff. He follows an underpass taking him to a secret submarine base located under the Castle. Quietly, he releases Blake and Honeychurch. While the latter warns the SAS, Blake and Mortimer sabotage the generator base and then, at the end of a struggle between Mortimer and Olrik, the propeller and rudder of the submarine. A firefight rages between the two sides until the SAS invade the Castle and the base. Everyone is arrested except Olrik, who manages to escape by sea plane.

The Francis Blake Affair - Wikipedia Blake and Mortimer is a Belgian comics series created by the Belgian writer and comics artist Edgar P. It was one of the first series to appear in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Tintin inand was subsequently published in book form by Les Editions du Lombard. The main antagonist is their sworn enemy, Colonel Olrik, who has appeared in almost every book. Their confrontations take them into the realms of detective investigation and science-fictiondealing with such themes as time travel, Atlantis and espionage. Since the death of Jacobs, new books have been published by two separate teams of artists and writers. A television series based upon the series was produced inentitled Blake and Mortimer. The books by Jacobs himself are generally set in the very period of their writing, but those authored by others after his death are set mostly in the s and s. When Tintin magazine was launched on 26 Septemberit included the story, Le secret de l'Espadon The Secret of the Swordfish which introduced the characters of Captain Francis Blake of the British Intelligence Service, his friend Professor Philip Mortimer, a leading physicist, and their sworn enemy Colonel Olrik. After Jacobs' death inBob de Moor completed his unfinished last story. Fromthe Jacobs estatecentred on the still-operating Jacobs Studios, republished all of Jacobs' works. The series was still firmly set in the s and included many new regular supporting characters, most notably Blake's colleagues in the security services. The first book, The Francis Blake Affairwas published in Famous scenarist Jean Van Hamme provided the storylines while Ligne claire specialist draughtsman Ted Benoit whose style resembles the later Jacobs's was contracted for the artwork. Purists immediately objected to the choice of Van Hamme and, upon publication, went on The Adventures of Blake and Mortimer: The Francis Blake Affair v. 4 discover some typical Van Hamme plot twists they disliked. However the book became a relative success and the publisher decided to continue the line. In the meantime, however, both Benoit and Van Hamme were tied up on other projects and work on the next book started to lag. Finally, Van Hamme and Benoit managed to finish their album and The Strange Encounter appeared inwith Blake and Mortimer confronting mysterious alien creatures. This was followed by Sente and Juillard's two-book adventure: The Sarcophagi of the Sixth Continent volume 1, The Universal Threat in ; volume 2, Battle of the Minds in which also dealt with Blake and Mortimer's youth and how they first met in pre- independence India. Sterne's girlfriend Chantal De Spiegeleer eventually completed his work, which was published on 20 November Aubin Frechon drew the second volume of the adventure, which was published 26 November The three main characters of the series were already present in slightly different form in the unrelated, first full length comic strip by Jacobs, Le Rayon U The U-Ray They are simply two proud Britons serving HM's Government.

TO MY WIFE LOIS Prologue For years I had wondered what the last day would be like. In January 1976 after two decades in the top echelons of the British Security Service, MI5, it was time to rejoin the real world. I emerged for the final time from Euston Road tube station. The winter sun shone brightly as I made my way down Gower Street toward Trafalgar Square. Fifty yards on I turned into the unmarked entrance to an anonymous office block. Tucked between an art college and a hospital stood the unlikely headquarters of British Counterespionage. I showed my pass to the policeman standing discreetly in the reception alcove and took one of the specially programmed lifts which carry senior officers to the sixth-floor inner sanctum. I walked silently down the corridor to my room next to the Director-General's suite. The offices were quiet. Far below I could hear the rumble of tube trains carrying commuters to the West End. I unlocked my door. In front of me stood the essential tools of the intelligence officer’s trade - a desk, two telephones, one scrambled for outside calls, and to one side a large green metal safe with an oversized combination lock on the front.

En esta guía puedes ver algunos cómics infantiles que tenemos en la biblioteca de Barañain. Queremos sumarnos así a la campaña “Galaxia-Cómic” puesta en marcha por el Departamento de Educación para animar a leer en familia. El cómic, con esa mezcla de imágenes, texto y a menudo (aunque no siempre) humor, es un género que ha atraído desde siempre a los niños y a los jóvenes. Si le preguntas a cualquier persona mayor a la que le guste leer cómo se inició su afición por la lectura es muy probable que te diga que empezó de niño leyendo cómics. Por eso nos parece acertada esta iniciativa y te invitamos a venir a la biblioteca para que puedas elegir los cómics que más te gusten, leerlos aquí o, si prefieres, llevártelos a casa y leerlos tranquilamente este otoño. Te esperamos. Atsegin duzu komikia? Barrez lehertu al zara noizbait Asterixekin eta Obelixekin, Mortadelorekin, Simpson senitartekoekin, edota beste hainbat eta hainbat pertsonaia ero, ero, erorekin?

  • Belgique Francophone, Terre De B.D
    Belgique francophone, terre de B.D. François Pierlot Frantseseko lektorea / Lector de francés Laburpena Komikien historia Suitzan hasi zen 1827an, Rodolphe Töpffer-ek “litera- tura iruditan” deiturikoa sortu zuenean. Printzipioa sinplea da: istorio bat kontatzen du marrazki bidez, eta istorioa azaltzeko testuak eransten ditu. Hogei urte geroago, Wilhelm Bush alemaniarrak Max und Moritz sortu zuen, marrazkietan dinamismo handia zuen umorezko komikia. Gero, batez ere egunkarietan agertzen hasi ziren komikiak. Eguneroko prentsak ere gero eta arrakasta handiagoa zuenez, komikiak Europa osora za- baldu ziren. Egunkarientzat oso garrantzitsua zen komiki onak izatea, irakur- le asko erakartzen zituztelako. Erresuma Batuan ere arrakasta izan zuten ko- mikiek. AEBtik, bestalde, koloretako argitalpenak iristen hasi ziren, testuen ordez bunbuiloak zituztenak. Belgikan, 1929an hasi ziren komikiak argitaratzen, Le petit vingtième haurrentzako egunkarian. Apaiz oso kontserbadore bat zen erredakzioburua, eta umeei komunisten alderako gorrotoa barneratzeko pertsonaia asmatzeko eskatu zion Hergé marrazkilari gazteari. Horrela sortu zen Tintin. Lehenengo aleak Tintin sobieten herrialdean zuen izenburua. Hergék bere pertsonaiaren «gobernua» hartu baino lehen, ideologiaz beteriko beste bi abentura ere izan ziren (Tintin Kongon eta Tintin Amerikan). Tintinekin hasitako goraldiaren ondoren, beste marrazki-aldizkari bel- gikar batzuk sortu ziren; besteak beste, Bravo! agerkaria. Komiki belgikarrak 1940ko hamarkadatik aurrera nagusitu ziren mundu frantsestunean, bi agerkari zirela bitarte: Le Journal Tintin eta Le Journal de Spirou, hurrenez hurren, Hergé eta Franquin marrazkilari zirela. Bi astekariek talentu gazteak hartu zituzten, aukera bat emateko. Komikien ibilbidea finka- tu zuten, klasizismo mota bat ezarrita. Journal de Spirou izenekoa 1938an sortu zuen Dupuis argitaletxeak, eta umorea landu zuen. Pertsonaiek oso jatorrak dirudite, grafismo biribilari esker (horregatik aipatzen da “sudur lodiaren” estiloa).

  • Tintin and the Adventure of Transformative and Critical Fandom
    . Volume 17, Issue 2 November 2020 Tintin and the adventure of transformative and critical fandom Tem Frank Andersen & Thessa Jensen, Aalborg University, Denmark Abstract: Using Roland Barthes’ and John Fiske’s notion of the readerly, writerly, and producerly text, this article provides an analysis and a tentative categorization of chosen transformative, fanmade texts for the comic book series The Adventures of Tintin. The focus is on the critical transformation of, and engagement with, the original text by academics, professional fans, and fans of popular culture. The analysis identifies different ways of transformational engagement with the original text: ranging from the academic writerly approach of researchers, over professional fans rewriting and critically engaging with the original text, to fanfiction fans reproducing heteroromantic tropes in homoerotic stories, fans of popular culture using Tintin figurines to document their own travels, and finally, fans who use Tintin covers as a way to express critical political sentiments. With Barthes and Fiske these groups are defined by their way of approaching the original text, thus working either in a readerly producerly or writerly producerly way, depending on how critical and political the producerly attitude is in regard to the original text. Keywords: The Adventures of Tintin, fan albums, fanfiction, fan communities; readerly, writerly, producerly reception Introduction In recent years, it has been quiet around the forever young reporter Tintin and his faithful friends Snowy and Captain Haddock. A motion capture movie about three of Tintin’s adventures failed to garner a larger following, despite having Steven Spielberg as the director (The Adventures of Tintin, Columbia Pictures, 2011).
