Born of Edgar Pierre Jacobs' imagination during the post-WWII period, Professor Philip Mortimer, nuclear physicist, and Captain Francis Blake, dashing head of MI5, are legendary heroes of the 9th art. The author, a close relative of Hergé, appreciated the excessive and the astonishing that could be found within the scope of scientific invention; his heroes, very much ahead of their time, discover extraordinary objects and phenomena through their uncommon adventures. Before devoting himself exclusively to them, Edgar Pierre Jacobs collaborated with Hergé and took part in the realization of "Tintin in the Congo", "Tintin in America", "The Blue Lotus", "King Ottokar's Sceptre", "The Seven Crystal Balls", and the "Prisoners of the Sun".

Iznogoud is the second in command (Grand Vizier) to the Caliph of Baghdad Haroun El Poussah (Haroun El Plassid in English, a pun on the historical Caliph, Harun al-Rashid; "poussah" is roughly translated as "oaf") but his sole aim in life is to overthrow the Caliph and take his place. This is frequently expressed in his famous catchphrase, "I want to become Caliph instead of the Caliph" ("je veux devenir calife ? la place du calife"), which has passed into everyday French for qualifying over-ambitious people who want to become chief. Iznogoud is always assisted in his plans by his faithful henchman, Dilat Larath (Wa'at Alahf in English).

Covering the years 1957 to 1959, this fifth volume of the Complete Collection brings together in its 144 pages three volumes that truly open the golden age of the Morris-Goscinny team. In The Judge, the new writer adopts the tradition of introducing historical characters -- here Judge Roy Bean. As for The Oklahoma Land Rush, it's based on historical events, another future tradition of the series. Finally, The Daltons' Escape sees the return of the Dalton cousins, and the beginning of a long and distinguished career as recurring villains.

The 144 pages of this fourth volume of the 'Complete Collection' contains three full titles.

Goscinny and the Daltons in superb hardback format -- an unmistakable volume.
