Hello All,

If you are interested into the "Big Classic" of Foreign countries, this is for you.

Lets start with one of the most famous title of the "Franco/Belgium" books.

Published in 1950 by "Edition du Lombard"

Series: Blake et Mortimer

Title: Le Secret de l'Espadon Vol 1 by E.P. Jacobs.

By popular demand (Thanks "Scrooge"),

 

# 6 of the adventures de Blake & Mortimer, 1957.

De rien.

 

Notice how the symbol on one of the UFOs resemble the one on the Genyuine Batman Comixs Ashcan.

 

The cover to the first Volume of the Secret de L'espadon is still my favorite of the run I think. As a kid, I had dreams of adapting the three volumes into a movie. I always thought it would make a wonderful Adventure feature. Do you know if there has ever been any attempts at bringing these stories to the screen? (à la live version of Tintin - well, maybe not exactly like that. I still need to rent the movie version of Astérix)

 

Thanks for taking requests. How about seeing Volume 3 of the Espadon next?

Rockin' cover, but what does it have to do with the evening meal.

I love the cover! Herge-esqe but with a wonder feeling due to the repetition of similar shapes and colors of the spaceships. I don't think I have an English reprint of any of the B&M, though I do of many other French comics.

So what do these two books go for?
