The infallible heroes of our childhood, Blake and Mortimer hold the top of the pad now for three weeks. The Last Pharaoh is a new adventure of the famous hero «so british», imagined in 1946 by Edgar P. Jacobs reviewed and magnified by the artist of the Cités obscures, François Schuiten. Intimidated by the brilliant work of Jacobs, the Belgian has been appointed to the help of the three stooges, the filmmaker Jaco Van Dormael, the novelist Thomas Gunzig and the poster artist Laurent Durieux.

The story begins shortly after the revival of Blake and Mortimer, strangely amnesic, at the end of the diptych The Mystery of the Great Pyramid (1954). And if the loss of memory of Mortimer could be at the origin of a new cataclysm? The Last Pharaoh keeps up with the fantastic and science-fiction, of which Jacobs was fond. The adventure takes root in Brussels, at the heart of this strange palace of justice designed by architect Joseph Poelaert. Another new addition, the heroes have aged.
