Where it came from
Blake and Mortimer issue number 5, titled The Mystery of the Great Pyramid, was originally serialized in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Tintin starting in 1950. Created by the Belgian artist Edgar P. Jacobs, a close collaborator of Hergé, the series was conceived as a sophisticated adventure saga rooted in the post-war fascination with espionage, archaeology, and science fiction. This particular story serves as the first half of a seminal two-part arc that pits the protagonists against their arch-nemesis, Olrik, amidst the ancient tombs of Egypt.
Jacobs was known for his dense, literary narrative style and highly detailed, cinematic backgrounds, which contrasted with the ligne claire style of his contemporaries. The Mystery of the Great Pyramid is widely considered a masterpiece of the genre, praised for its meticulous attention to historical detail and its atmospheric tension. It cemented the series' reputation as a cornerstone of European bande dessinée and remains a highly influential work that defined the template for the globetrotting adventure comic.
