Dear Reader,

Ghosts from the past are the flavour of this month. For Blake and Mortimer, it seems to be almost literally – a mysterious, shadowy figure is prowling the halls of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, and its actions seem to be linked to Captain Blake’s youth…

In Barracuda, it’s an old enemy of Mr Flynn’s who shows up at Puerto Blanco with murder in his heart. The delicate balance of power on the island is going to be disrupted, with serious consequences for Emilio, Maria and Raffy…

For Largo, it’s a case of the sins of the father, as a member of the W Group’s old guard is murdered before his very eyes, prompting an investigation that will lead to Switzerland and the Black Sea.

Finally, time-travelling agent Valerian hops from one period of history to another, doing what action heroes do and… well, dying a lot, too. A good thing Laureline is there to back him up…
