Edgard Félix Pierre Jacobs (2904-1987), better known under his pen name Edgar P. Jacobs, was a comic book creator (writer and artist), born in Brussels, Belgium. It has been said of Jacobs that he didn't remember a time when he hadn't drawn. When the comics magazine Tintin was launched on 26 September 1946, it included Jacobs's story Le secret de l'Espadon (The Secret of the Swordfish). This story would be the first in the Blake and Mortimer series.
The characters of Captain Francis Blake, dashing head of MI5, his friend Professor Philip Mortimer, a nuclear physicist, and their sworn enemy Colonel Olrik became legendary heroes of the 9th art.
