This volume includes the adventures of Blake & Mortimer published in the above albums, and a wealth of fascinating extra material on the series, as well as sketches and historical notes. With The Time Trap, first of the two titles in this fourth volume, Jacobs tackles a quintessential science.fiction trope : time travel. Dinosaurs, medieval knights and an apocalyptic future make it a fabulous adventure, and who cares if, for the first time, Olrik isn't there ? The Affair of the Necklace, on the other hand, is a pure crime story done in ultrarealistic overtones that set it somewhat apart from the rest of the series.
Finally, the extra material will shine a light on the dangers of censorship at the time - from which even Jacobs wasn't safe.
