Blake and Mortimer is a 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 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 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 . 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 by Jacobs, Le Rayon U The U-Ray They are simply two proud Britons serving HM's Government.

Although the series is no doubt for reasons of euphony called Blake and Mortimerit is Professor Mortimer who is often the main protagonist. In the original series, it is mainly he who, through his impulsive character, gets entangled in adventurous circumstances. Blake is the straight man, the serious army officer who comes to the rescue. On the bad-guy side, Colonel Olrik combines characteristics of both heroes. Blake and Mortimer adventures are characterized by a quest, most often involving adventures underground till the final ending, free and back to the surface. The The Adventures of Blake and Mortimer: The Francis Blake Affair v. 4 structures include some similarities: when the adventure begins certain important but unseen events have already taken place; at the beginning of The Yellow Markfor instance, the titular character has already made himself known through various activities which the reader only learns about when Mortimer reads a newspaper about these events. Some of the adventures also end with the characters reflecting on what they have learned from their experiences: after his travels through time in Time TrapMortimer concludes that rather than dwell on the "good old days" or look forward The Adventures of Blake and Mortimer: The Francis Blake Affair v. 4 a "brighter future", one should be content with the present. Blake and Mortimer are sometimes shown to live in the same house, sharing an apartment in the same manner as and Doctor Watson. These series were all first published during a time when censorship of youth publications was very stringent, and segregation between girls and boys was applied with rigor. Jacobs always drew his stories as being contemporary and based on real environments, so the first few titles have a s look and feel while the last installments are decidedly s. One exception to this rule is, again, Time Trapwhich starts in the present i. Post-Jacobs stories are so far integrated in the chronology of the first ones, therefore taking place in the s and s. The art style of E. Jacobs, although typical of the Belgian comics drawings called "clear line" or " ligne claire "is specific in its extensive use of light colors and shots very similar to what can be found in film production. The panoramic view over London by night opening The Yellow Mark being a good example. The writing, on the other hand, is noted for its high verbosity in The Yellow "M"a page has over wordswith captions and word balloons frequently stating the action that's also depicted visually.
