All is not well in London. During a meeting at MI5, Blake and Mortimer learn the terrible truth: the women of England have gone mad. They’re beginning to question masculine authority! They refuse to serve five o’clock tea, they take off their bras in public, and they keep making the toast too hot or too cold. Blake (let’s call him Francis) and Mortimer (let’s call him Philip) will try to bring them back to reason. The problem is, they really don’t know very much about women…
Veys and Barral’s homage to Edgar P. Jacobs ‘Blake and Mortimer’, leavened with a healthy dose of humour and showing the much-loved characters in a whole new light. Fans will find all the elements that have made this series such a classic of the bande dessinée. As for readers who, however improbably, don’t yet know Blake and Mortimer, they’re guaranteed a good time, with their first taste of an excellent comic whose sense of humor is always ‘typically British.’
