( click on the image to enlarge it)You can see it all at "The Sarcophagi of the Sixth Continent" Vol. 1 of the Blake & Mortimer Adventures, when the Mahatma saves young Francis Blake and young Philip Mortimer from a menacing mob.
He says to the two youngsters: "I beg yoy to forgive the unqualifiable attitude of your aggressors. Convey that for the majority of indians you are always welcome in our country, as visitors, of course, not as conquerors. In that spirit I wish you an excellent sojourn in India."
Portugal, it seems, was the first country, worlwide, who saw the newest adventure of Blake & Mortimer being released to the public - the 24th of past month of March.
It’s the eighteenth book in the series, and the seventh that was not entirely created by Jacobs (album number 12, the second part of Professor Sato’s Three Formulas, was drawn by Hergé’s right-hand man Bob De Moor, based on unfinished sketches by Jacobs). Professor Mortimer has brought back a mysterious piece of rock from his expedition from the South Pole, and this leads him on the trail of a fantastic, lost civilisation. His search leads him to the entrails of the Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania (or Tanganyka, as Kenya and Tanzania were known then), not far from Lake Victoria. Thus starts a supposedly rollicking adventure that will lead Blake and Mortimer to black Africa for the first time.
