What Are White Spots On My Groin

The Adventures of Blake and Mortimer: The yellow mark


do not know if everyone will remember these two characters also met in the journal Mampato. This is the Captain Francis Blake and Professor Philip Mortimer, two composite characters phlegmatic and very dedicated to solve mysteries and have been involved in remarkable adventures.

Mampato was published in the last album released its author, the Belgian artist Edgar Pierre Jacobs (1904-1987), whose title was "The three formulas of Professor Sato." Certainly, we will include in our Mampato Bicentennial Library. But this time I wanted to take comment on the album "The yellow mark", originally published in 1953 and I got out of the Library of Santiago yesterday to enjoy a good weekend reading.

was the only available copy of the adventure of Blake and Mortimer, and although it is the fourth adventure of these two gentlemen, after having been involved in the mystery of the U beam in the broadsword and in the great pyramid, I think anyone who read it without having read the above, just enjoy this great story.

Jacobs's style is very similar to Hergé. Not for nothing was one of his staff and was one of the cartoonists of the magazine Tintin. Personally, I love the narrative and visual style of Hergé. Especially because it takes time to develop While the events he narrates, but it seems that some people slows down the narrative. I like the cartoons have had enough text and that it is narrated in great detail events.

Well, some of it is the style of Jacobs, besides the obvious similarities in terms of types of drawings. Many of the characters in his cartoons could well be part of the adventures of Tintin. But just to be the very thing that always attracted me to him. In addition, the mysteries and adventures that have developed just the ingredients of intrigue and action to capture anyone's attention. Really, anyone who has read some of the albums Blake and Mortimer, you know what can not stop reading until the end of the story.

Although this story of the yellow mark, one more or less guess where to go the shots, Jacobs manages to surprise as well. Its setting in the city of London in the mid-twentieth century, also gives a special flavor. Jacobs is careful to describe the famous capital of the United Kingdom and the atmosphere that is very suggestive and mysterious atmosphere of this story.

site are available in the adventures of Blake and Mortimer, both comic and in its animated version. The cartoon for this adventure I comment today can find this link. There is also

digital version of the albums in Castilian, so that is nothing new to share this digital version of "The yellow mark." However, the versions available are as regular as the comic dialogues of Blake and Mortimer have a very small print and bring sick text, it is best to read them in a resolution of better quality. Digitized why this issue myself so you can reread it without problems. Hope you enjoy it.
