The two-parter Professor Sato's Three Formulae was the last Blake and Mortimer adventure written by Jacobs, and its second part would only be completed years after his death by Bob de Moor. A story set in Japan in the author's time, where the advanced technologies on display look more like foreshadowing than science-fiction. The third album in this collected edition, The Francis Blake Affair is a pure spy thriller, the sort that Jean Van Hamme does so well - a descent into Hell for Blake and an unquestionable success that ensured Blake & Mortimer would live on. Finally, the bonus material explains in detail the circumstances of how Van Hamme and Ted Benoit took over the series.

In this eighth volume of the Complete Collection, the next Blake & Mortimer written - in two parts - by Jean Van Hamme and illustrated by three different artists, brings the reader along on one of Professor Mortimer's favourite activities: archaeology - and if there are echoes of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade in The Curse of the 30 Pieces of Silver, the story is all the better for it. For the third album collected in this volume, The Oath of the Five Lords, the style is more Agatha Christie, with a thriller set in the heart of England that reveals some dark aspects of Captain Blake's career as a spy - giving the character more depth and credibility. Finally, the bonus material goes over the difficulties encountered to produce the first two albums in great detail.

This sixth volume of the collected edition introduces the second creative team assigned to the new adventures of Blake & Mortimer: Andre Juillard and Yves Sente, who would take turns with Jean Van Hamme and Ted Benoit. The first album of the new duet was The Voronov Plot, a spy thriller set in Russia in which our heroes try to avert a bacteriological war. The next year, Benoit and Van Hamme's next creation came out: The Strange Encounter, a time travel story that returns to the science fiction aspects of Jacobs's stories - much to the fans' joy. Finally, the 24 pages of bonus material tell all about the masterstroke from Sente - whose script was the first he'd ever written!

En förfader till professor Mortimer, en officer i den brittiska armén under det Amerikanska frihetskriget, försvann spårlöst under gåtfulla omständigheter 1777. Nu är året 1954, och liket efter den försvunne major Macquarrie har just återfunnits på amerikansk mark, över 300 mil ifrån platsen där han försvann närmare 200 år tidigare. Av kroppens skick att döma har Macquarrie avlidit helt nyligen och han är fortfarande iförd rödrockarnas berömda uniformsrock.
Philip Mortimer ombeds att komma till USA och delta i identifikationen av sin anfader. Ombord på Stratocruisern till New York får han till sin förvåning sällskap av vännen Francis Blake, chef för den brittiska underrättelsetjänsten MI5, som är på väg till ett möte med sina amerikanska kollegor i Washington. Kapten Blake är skeptisk, både till den märkliga historien om Mortimers förfader och till den amerikanska regeringens ökande intresse för de rapporter om flygande tefat och små gröna män som blivit allt vanligare. Föga anar de båda vännerna att äventyret som väntar dem på andra sidan Atlanten innebär ett hot mot hela världens existens, och att deras blivande motståndare utgör en ohelig allians av gamla fiender och nya, okända krafter.
Blake och Mortimers äventyr är en klassisk fransk-belgisk äventyrsserie, skapad av belgaren Edgar P Jacobs (1904-1987). Jacobs var under 1940-talet Hergés närmaste medarbetare, bl a på Tintinalbumen De sju kristallkulorna och Solens tempel, men kom senare att enbart ägna sig åt sin egen serie om kapten Francis Blake och professor Philip Mortimer. Tillsammans upplever de båda kumpanerna äventyr som spänner över allt från kriminalgåtor till storpolitik och science fiction.
