By Elby
Format:Paperback
I'm so glad Cinebook started issuing the Blake & Mortimer books in English. These books are great, old-fashioned adventure stories, carefully thought out and rich in detail. The Mystery of the Great Pyramid is an intricate mix of police procedural drama and supernatural themes in a fantastic setting. The translation by Clarence Holland is smooth and captures the mood of the time in which these books are set.

If the previous album in this series "The Yellow M" can be likened to a 1930's thriller. These 2 albums "The Mystery of the Great Pyramid" have a lot in common with the 1930's adventure serials, a style later made popular by the Lucus and Spielburg's Indiana Jones Films. As you read it you can imagine it being an a plot from an Indiana Jones film. The ever deeping mystery, the regular sequences and fights, climaxing with a mystical/supernatural final confrontation. And on that level these 2 albums really work, assisted by Jacobs beautiful artistry. As a previous reviewer has said, it lacks the humour of Tintin and the over use of Text boxes tends to slow the narrative. Despite these small complaints it is a great read.

good but no tintin 4 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
Having read all the translated blake and motimer stories so far ive enjoyed them to some extent but there is something missing which great art doesnt replace.i think its the fun and humour that captain haddock and snowy bring to herges books.Also theres so much too read in blake and mortimer stories that therefore dont make the storylines that easy to understand or keep up with and all to many times a bit like the cliffhanger serials of the 40s somehow with a paragraph blake and mortimer are free.So all in all I will still buy all those that are reprinted but dont expect to many laughs
