Synopsis "The Adventures of Blake and Mortimer: Yellow "m" (Blake & Mortimer) "

London's walls resound with the incredible exploits of the 'Yellow Mark.' The spectacular actions of this mysterious criminal are on the increase: holding up the Bank of England, robbing the imperial crown... No one seems able to stop him. He is so audacious that he lets the police know in advance where he will commit his crimes, each time ridiculing Scotland Yard a little more. The apparent ease with which he evades police schemes begins to worry the highest authorities of the country. The Home Office asks Captain Francis Blake to solve the mystery and discover the identity of the man who hides behind the Yellow Mark. The captain immediately takes as partner his old friend, Professor Philip Mortimer, whose scientific knowledge will be invaluable in solving this extremely complex enigma. Who hides behind the Yellow Mark?

Edgar P. Jacobs (Brussels, March 30, 1904 – Lasne, February 20, 1987) was a prominent Belgian comic book artist, known for his contribution to European comics. Initially, he pursued a career in lyrical singing, but World War II interrupted his musical career, leading him to focus on illustration and graphic storytelling. He closely collaborated with Hergé on the Adventures of Tintin, contributing his talent to albums like "The Secret of the Unicorn" and "The Seven Crystal Balls".

Among his most notable works is the "Blake and Mortimer" series, which began with "The Secret of the Swordfish" (1947), a narrative of science fiction and adventure. Other important titles in the series include "The Yellow M" (1953) and "The Mystery of the Great Pyramid" (1955). His work "The U-Ray" (1943) is another significant piece in the science fiction genre. In 1971, he received the Saint Michel Prize in the Grand Prize category, recognizing his impact on Belgian comics.
