Jacobs. It first appeared serialised in the Belgian comics magazine Tintin from 1946, and was subsequently published in book form by Les Editions du Lombard. The main protagonists of the adventures are two Britons, a top scientist called Philip Mortimer and an army officer called Francis Blake. The main antagonist of the series is their sworn enemy, Olrik, who has appeared in all but one of the books. Their confrontations take them into the realms of detective investigation and science-fiction, dealing with such themes as time travel, Atlantis and espionnage. The books are generally set during the 1950s, though many were written after this decade (for instance The Sarcophagi of the Sixth Continent is specifically set in 1958 but was published in 2003). Jean-Michel Charlier (October 30, 1924 - July 10, 1989) was a Belgian scriptwriter best known as a writer of realistic European comic books and graphic novels. He was a co-founder of the famed European comics magazine Pilote. Charlier was born in Liège, Belgium in 1924. De Weyer, Geert (2005). "Jean-Michel Charlier". In België gestript, pp. 177-179. Tielt: Lannoo.</ref> In 1945 he got a job as a draughtsman in Brussels with World Press, the syndicate of Georges Troisfontaines, which worked mainly for the comic strip magazine Spirou. The following year he and artist Victor Hubinon created the four-page comic strip L'Agonie du Bismarck. Charlier wrote the script and also drew the ships and airplanes. In 1947 Charlier and Hubinon began the long-running air-adventure comic strip Buck Danny. After a few years, Charlier stopped all work on the drawings and concentrated only on the scenarios, on the advice of Jijé, then the senior artist at Spirou.
