"XIII" это франко-бельгийский комикс повествующий о приключениях спецагента, потерявшего память. Авторы не раз заявляли, что во многом вдохновлялись книгой Роберта Ладлама "Идентификация Борна" (по которой, кстати, выпущен фильм). Cразу после выхода комикс ожидал небывалый успех и поэтому серия до сих пор жива. По мотивам комикса вышла одноименная игра от Ubisoft, а так же два сериала. В радаче есть фотоальбом с зарисовками и краткими описаниями персонажей и т.п., называется "The Inquiry" . Он имеет статус 13 тома и состоит из двух частей, но он не выходил официально на английском, поэтому нумерация немного другая в раздаче, выделил его отдельно, эта первая часть из двух, умельцы взяли немецкое издание от Carlsen Comics и заменили весь текст на английский.

The XIII Mystery - The Inquiry"
Описание: The mysteries of history must one day reveal the secret archives of their protagonists . At the heart of the saga XIII they are legion . "The XIII Mystery - the survey " will meet them. Two investigative journalists of "New York Daily" worthy of the duo revealed the Watergate scandal , investigate the recent events that shook the United States . Namely the "Day of Black Sun " and the recent hostage President Sheridan by General Carrington and his trial live on channel ABS . One of the two reporters found " suicide " at the foot of a building in Miami Beach. Survivor, Warren Glass, fled to Europe by passing through installments, the elements of an investigation that confirms the central role of the mysterious XIII in the heart of events. "The XIII mystery" met all these new information . Jean Van Hamme plays with the reality of time to slide to another . At this formidable game spacio -temporal mechanic, he has none. Supported on the cards he holds since 1984 on each of his characters, he decided, with William Vance, revealing the gray areas that includes the biography of each. Except for XIII, who by dint of seeing each of its possible identities detailed lot more mysterious than ever of the investigation. Rather than a book dedicated to information in text form , the tandem Vance Van Hamme has opted for a clever mix of text and drawing. Vance operates in his two favorite books : comics (41 pages in total , almost album " classic" ) and illustration (he is the specialist illustration of effective hedging instrument) . Many little gems that dot the volume. 12 files ( Clan Sheridan, The conspiracy of XX, The cons - survey , The Rowland case , Riddle Mongoose , Costa Verde and Minerco , the Irish branch of the drama Greenfalls ... ) and nearly 130 biographical notes make "The XIII mystery - the survey " more than necessary "who's who " of the saga comics end of this century.
