This sixth volume of the collected edition introduces the second creative team assigned to the new adventures of Blake & Mortimer: André Juillard and Yves Sente, who would take turns with Jean Van Hamme and Ted Benoit. The first album of the new duet was The Voronov Plot, a spy thriller set in Russia in which our heroes try to avert a bacteriological war. The next year, Benoit and Van Hamme’s next creation came out: The Strange Encounter, a time travel story that returns to the science fiction aspects of Jacobs’s stories – much to the fans’ joy. Finally, the 24 pages of bonus material tell all about the masterstroke from Sente – whose script was the first he’d ever written!
