Description from the seller
Pixi 5220 - Blake & Mortimer - Complete Scene "Olrik Unmasked by Mortimer" - Limited Edition with Accessories (Very Rare)
Exceptional collection set from the prestigious French firm Pixi (Ref. 5220), based on the masterpiece of the Franco-Belgian comic Blake and Mortimer by Edgar P. Jacobs. This emblematic scene, titled "Olrik Unmasked by Mortimer", was originally released in December 2005 in exclusive collaboration with Librairie Album. It is a numbered series strictly limited to only 500 copies worldwide, making it a highly sought-after piece and extremely rare in today’s auction market.
The piece recreates with absolute tridimensional fidelity the suspenseful climax of the comic, capturing a complex dynamic of movement and texture in metal:
Professor Philip Mortimer: Static vertical figure, sculpted with a forward center of gravity that reinforces his confrontational attitude. The folds of the jacket and the facial expression rigorously respect the canon of the clear line.
Colonel Olrik (Unmasked): A technical genius by Pixi in terms of capturing movement. The figure defies conventional balance by being sculpted in full fall backward, anchored to the base-fixed office chair. The dynamism of the body breaks the usual staticism of lead figures.
The lot includes the three-legged night table, liquor bottles and glasses to exact scale. The background is complemented by the original perforated card reproducing the exact panel from the comic, framing the composition.
The condition of the set is excellent. What makes this particular lot truly unique is that it preserves absolutely all of its original components, including micro-sculpted accessories that are almost always lost over the years:
Critical micro-accessory: Includes the tiniest original Olrik glasses (an extremely small metal micro-piece, volatile and nearly impossible to find on the second-hand market).
Small, barely noticeable break, on the finger of Professor Philip Mortimer.
Visible in some of the photographs.
Original box: Delivered with its iconic red Pixi presentation box in perfect structural condition.
Documentation: Includes its official numeric certificate of authenticity, being this the 499th of 500.
The figures are entirely made of metal (lead alloy) and hand-painted by Pixi artisans, preserving the vibrancy of the original pigments with no notable loss of polychromy. An indispensable opportunity for meticulous collectors of the Franco-Belgian BD and completists of the EP Jacobs universe.
The lot will be shipped perfectly protected, with tracking number and insured to ensure that it arrives in the same exceptional condition in which it is found."
