Fans of famed Belgian cartoon strip Blake and Mortimer, the story of two British adventurers which first appeared in Tintin magazine in the 1940s, will finally get a chance to know more about the pair with the publication of a prequel. The stories about fictional professor Philip Mortimer and dashing intelligence captain Francis Blake were the brainchild of artist Edgar P. Jacobs, a contemporary of Tintin creator Herge, who died in 1987. After his death, other authors took up the baton to write about the further adventures of the two stalwarts of the British empire, most recently Yves Sente and Andre Juillard, who have been in charge since 2000. "When we reread ("The Secret of the Swordfish", the first Blake and Mortimer adventure), we noticed some strange things," said Sente, who writes the strips.
