Martin Mistère, Diana Lombard (his eternal fiancèe) and Java, friend and assistant. In the background the Cathedral of San Giusto (Patron of Trieste) and the Castle of the same name, romanic remains.
And there's Java, friend and companion of his adventures, a Neanderthal man rescued during an exploration of Central Asia. Although able to express himself merely with grunts, understood only by the Detective of the Impossible, Java has proved himself as a "true friend" in many occasions and an exceptional companion in many dangerous situations, becoming more than the classic dumb partner of many cartoon heroes. Martin obtained Java's legal custody after a long legal fight and turned him into his faithful assistant.
During his investigations Martin often fights against enigmatic people (the Men in Black) who try to vanify every efforts to demonstrate that our reality hides aspects which contrast with the reassuring logic of Science like the Establishment wants us to see.
The enemy who is, however, worth of wider mention in the chronacles of the
adventures of BVZM (Buon Vecchio Zio Martin - Good Old Uncle Martin) is Sergej
Orloff, scientist himself and once friend of the Detective of the
Impossible.
Martin shared many happy years of study with him in Italy and
an adventure in the world of the High Priests in Central Asia.

Apple has never thanked the authors for this unofficial sponsoring, as far as I know... maybe Martin will use different computers now... ;-(
Martin has been drawn by several excellent artists, most famous Giancarlo Alessandrini and Franco De Vescovi (who is also from Trieste like me and is the author of the picture above!).
