Synopsis "Professor Sato's Three Formulae - Part 1"

One evening in Tokyo, air traffic controllers detect an unknown flying object and send two aircraft to intercept and identify it. However, the fighters' last message before they crash into each other is 'ryu' - dragon! The whole business has deeply upset Professor Sato Akira, and he calls upon his friend Mortimer, who can always be counted upon for good advice. But before he's even received the invitation, Mortimer is already targeted by men hell bent on getting rid of him... Captain Francis Blake, dashing head of England's MI5. Professor Philip Mortimer, world-renowned nuclear physicist. The most distinguished duo of gentleman-adventurers, battling the forces of evil and their arch nemesis Olrik around the globe, below the earth, even across time itself... The 22nd adventure of Her Majesty's finest protectors!

Edgar P. Jacobs (Brussels, March 30, 1904 – Lasne, February 20, 1987) was a prominent Belgian comic book artist, known for his contribution to European comics. Initially, he pursued a career in lyrical singing, but World War II interrupted his musical career, leading him to focus on illustration and graphic storytelling. He closely collaborated with Hergé on the Adventures of Tintin, contributing his talent to albums like "The Secret of the Unicorn" and "The Seven Crystal Balls".

Among his most notable works is the "Blake and Mortimer" series, which began with "The Secret of the Swordfish" (1947), a narrative of science fiction and adventure. Other important titles in the series include "The Yellow M" (1953) and "The Mystery of the Great Pyramid" (1955). His work "The U-Ray" (1943) is another significant piece in the science fiction genre. In 1971, he received the Saint Michel Prize in the Grand Prize category, recognizing his impact on Belgian comics.
