La Flèche ardente
In “La Flèche ardente” Jean Van Hamme takes up the story precisely where Jacobs left it in “Le Rayon ‘U'”, in order to give us the conclusion we’ve been lacking for 80 years.
The Emperor of Austradie, a paranoid megalomaniac, wants to invade the Black Islands in order to get his hands on their reserves of uradium and puts General Robioff in charge of the murderous mission. Meanwhile, in Norlandie, Professor Marduk is demonstrating the powerful new U Ray to the members of the Great Council. But none of them are aware that the islands belong to Puncha Taloc, the fearsome God of Fire, whose ancestors have put a deadly curse on anyone who sets foot on them. The Black Islands will become the scene of death and destruction…
Le Rayon U
In 1943, when copies of “Flash Gordon” could no longer be shipped to countries occuped by the Germans, “Bravo!” magazine asked Edgar P. Jacobs to create a new adventure series to take its place. And so “The U Ray” was born. But Jacobs had the audacity to turn it into a metaphor, with a tyrant controling the bad guys (an obvious allusion) and good guys looking remarkably British, in anticipation of Blake and Mortimer.
The infamous Captain Dagon, a member of the Austrian secret service, infiltrates a mission to the Black Isles led by Norlandia, which aims to get his hands on uradium, a mineral with prodigious properties. Soon, the expedition will experience extraordinary adventures…
The new edition of this 9th art classic benefits from a colouring by Bruno Tatti, in accordance with Jacobs’ original palette.
