An expensive treat coming my way next year (others are welcome to join in) as Cinebook are starting a series of Blake and Mortimer hardbacks:
"At long last, a hardback collected edition of Blake & Mortimer is published in English! A Cinebook exclusive, not even available in French, this Complete Collection will gather two or three books per volume, in the original publishing order, plus another book's worth of fascinating extra material on the series and the author, as well as sketches and historical notes - unmissable for any true fan! Four volumes will come out in 2024, with the next four already scheduled for 2025. This first one brings together the three episodes of our heroes' very first adventure, The Secret of the Swordfish, introducing their nemesis Olrik, their habit of saving the world ... and Jacobs's love of airplanes!"
The reference to 2024 must be incorrect as there isn't really enough time left this year to churn these out, and the Amazon page(s) have them being published in December 2025 (all on the same day at that). Between 170+ and 220+ pages per volume, which puts the extras at 30 pages or so. I really liked Cinebook's Valerian and Laureline hardbacks (other than the copy devoted to the D.O.A film) and the first three Lucky Luke ones, so I am onboard with these.
Amazon's truly terrible search engine isn't making these easy to find but links below.
