Diabolical! How Edgar Jacobs's trap for his heroes backfired. Thanks to the precious archives left to the Jacobs Foundation by the author of Blake and Mortimer during his lifetime, delve behind the scenes of the creation of Diabolical Trap. 144 pages. French.
Enter the workshop in Bois des Pauvres and stand just over the master's shoulder to discover the manufacturing secrets of an inventor of worlds obsessed with perfection, trapped by his own creation.
This is the story of a book. It's the story of a Blake and Mortimer without Blake (or almost), without a single hair of Olrik's mustache, with real fake bits of Miloch Georgevitch in it. It's the story of a book with dinosaurs, medieval peasant revolts, surveillance drones under a post-nuclear dictatorship; the story of a temporal catch-all that spans the gap between origins and extinction. It's the story of a trap, an evil one, set by a creator at the height of his powers. A trap that will close in on the author, and from which only the paper creatures will emerge intact.
