Special editions of Le Dernier Pharaon by Laurent Hennebelle

The great saga of Blake and MortimerThe Last Pharaoh” is an UFO for several reasons. Firstly, because it is the only “special” volume of the saga, and therefore outside the official chronology.

Then, because it features François Schuiten, the famous cartoonist known for the saga of the Obscure Cities, Jaco Van Dormael, the director of Mr Nobody and Toto the hero, Thomas Gunzig, writer until then of novels and theatre and finally Laurent Durieux, famous poster designer. Finally, because its 85 plates make it a much more imposing volume than the “classic” stories of Blake and Mortimer.
