Born of Edgar Pierre Jacobs' imagination during the post-Mil
period, Professor Philip Mortimer, nuclear physicist, and
Captain Francis Blake, dashing head of MI5, are legendary
heroes of the 9th art. The author, a close relative of Hergé,
appreciated the excessive and the astonishing that could be
found within the scope of scientific invention; his heroes, very
much ahead of their time, discover extraordinary objects and
phenomena through their uncommon adventures.
Before devoting himself exclusively to them, Edgar Pierre Jacobs collaborated with Hergé and took part in the realisation of Tintin in the Congo, Tintin in America, The Blue Lotus, King Ottokar's Sceptre, The Seven Crystal Balls, and Prisoners of the Sun.
