India ink and colored inks on paper 43 × 25 cm (16.93 × 9.84 in.) After taking our heroes to the four corners of the globe, scriptwriter Yves Sente decides to bring them back to England, to recapture the flavor of La Marque jaune. The plot revolves around a great figure in English history, the British officer and writer Thomas Edward Lawrence, known as Lawrence of Arabia, who helped bring down the Ottoman Empire by promising the Arabs that England would grant them their independence, which of course never happened. Now, it is said that the author of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom died in troubling circumstances at the same time as the manuscript of his memoirs disappeared... In this cover, we find all the protagonists of this adventure alongside Captain Blake and Professor Mortimer.
