SENTE (YVES) & JUILLARD (André). The adventures of Blake & Mortimer. La machination Voronov. Blake & Mortimer / Studio Jacobs (Dargaud - Lombard) First edition Legal deposit: January 2000 ISBN : 2-87097-052-8 Printed in Switzerland by Partenaires Livres Published to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Blake and Mortimer series, La Machination Voronov marks the official return of the two heroes under the pen of Yves Sente and the masterly stroke of André Juillard. Against the backdrop of the Cold War, Colonel Voronov, a deposed Soviet scientist, is planning a secret operation involving espionage, scientific manipulation and major geopolitical issues. Blake and Mortimer find themselves embroiled in a complex plot, faithful to the spirit of Edgar P. Jacobs, but with a modern narrative and graphic style. The album stands out for its historical rigor, its tense atmosphere and its elegant graphics, very respectful of the series' original style. It is a cornerstone of the contemporary revival of Blake and Mortimer. A very fine copy. Solid binding, well-preserved boards, clean interior. Very slight wear to corners.
