    Timeless artwork burdened by stale dialogue and hackneyed plot...
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2011*

As a father always on the lookout for alternatives to the mostly mind-numbing, intellect dulling, so-called childrens' literature I went back to my childhood to introduce my son to the world of Belgian comics, most notably Tintin. After my son devoured all the Tintin books, I researched other Belgian titles with similar themes and came across The Adventures of Blake &  Mortimer.  I was intrigued enough to buy The Yellow M.  While every single panel of artwork is beautiful to look at the story and dialogue go around in circles, going nowhere in a spiral of unoriginality.  Eventually, the story is revealed to be little more than the old "disgruntled mad scientist seeking revenge" plotline. The dialogue was needlessly verbose and the author relies too heavily on third person narration to explain events leading up to the situation at hand, sometimes using multiple paragraphs.  The result was a dull-read for a parent previewing the book which turned out to be, for the aforementioned reasons, unsuitable for a nine-year old.  As amazing as the artwork is, the story and dialogue don't hold up the same way Tintin has.  Never-the-less, because of the artwork, I just might give the adventures of Blake & Mortimer a second chance.  Yes, the illustrations are that good.

    Classic Franco-Belgian Comic  Re-issued in English
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2007*

Edgar Jacobs created the Blake & Mortiner series in 1946.  In the six decades since their creation, all of the books have remained constantly in print.  They are considered classics in the Franco-Belgian comic book tradition.  In Europe, these stories are held with the same high esteem as Tintin, Lucky Luke, Asterix and Alix.  Unfortunately, with the exception of Tintin and Asterix, the Franco-Belgian tradition has never caught on in the English speaking world.The English publisher Cinebook has decided to issue a line of English language translations of classic European comic books.  "The Yellow M" is their first Blake & Mortimer release.  Hopefully, they will be able to eventually release the whole series.This is the first Blake & Mortimer story that I have ever read and it is easily understood why this series is such a classic.  The series was produced in the clear line style of illustration.  The quality of the draftmanship is very high. However, what makes the story first rate is the strong story line.  It is cinematic in style and there is a film noire feel to the story.  Highly recommended.

    A worthy comic book by Edgar P. Jacobs !
  

*by K***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2013*

A very good reading comic book by Edgar Jacobs. I've been a big fan of Tintin, Asterix, Lucky Luke, & Smurf comics from the past. Now, I begin to feel this comic deserves to be in my heart as well. The story depicts 2 main characters: Blake & Prof. Mortimer. Yellow "M" is one of the interesting comic book, I am totally hooked. Okay, I'm a-40-yr-old guy who still loves comics, people. Yet, I still find this comic enjoyable to read in a spare time. The story tells about the disappearance of kidnapping some important people, yet the main adversary is difficult to be caught by police. What should Mortimer & Blake do to solve it ? In this comic book, it has some heavy words reading to understand them. I have to say as they are quite different from what I've read from other comics in the past.
