Written by Edgar Jacobs who knew Herge and worked with him for a while. Jacobs started his own graphic novels featuring Blake and Mortimer and set in an alternate history world of the 1950's. The adventures are based in London but travel far and wide. They are crime stories and 1950's sci-fi. Jacobs died in '87 but his work has been continued by new artists and writers. They are originally in French and have been translated in the new millennium.

Any fans here?

Sounds like a early Rick and Morty.

I looked up Rick and Morty and they are very different. Blake And Mortimer books take themselves much more seriously and the art is much better.
