Show detail Hide detail

MARTIN MYSTERY is an animated series for teenagers loosely based on the Italian comic strip MARTIN MYSTÈRE created by writer Alfredo Castelli and drawn by artist Giancarlo Alessandrini, first published in Italy by Sergio Bonelli Editore in 1982. In the comic strip, Martin Mystère is a New York-born art historian, archaeologist, anthropologist, adventurer, writer, television producer and collector of unusual objects who devoted his research to the most enigmatic events and places of human history and who spent much of his early life studying in Italy where many of his adventures take place. In the strip, Martin is assisted in his adventures by Java, a mute and very strong Neanderthal Man he discovered in a hidden city in Mongolia. Martin's comic strip companion is the beautiful Diana Lombard who is also his long-time fiancé. The animated television series reimagines the title character Martin Mystery and Diana Lombard, here his step-sister rather than his fiancé, as sixteen-year-olds attending Torrington Academy, a high school in Sherbrooke, Québec. Martin and Diana are commissioned by the covert organization "The Centre", an undercover bureau specializing in mysterious and supernatural phenomena whose mandate is to protect the people of Earth from various alien, monster and paranormal threats. The two mismatched teenagers, assisted by the short green-skinned creature Billy, and Java, the caveman lost in time (and the only unchanged character from the comic strip), leave their high school classroom and enter the caves of the unknown with a secret mission to investigate the strangest paranormal enigmas and the slimiest beasts from beyond. Even though the series is created in Canada and Europe, its style is strongly influenced by Japanese anime. In this episode, when land developers start demolishing an ancient Indian burial ground, the workers suddenly begin to disappear. It turns out that local Native Americans are metamorphing into werewolves by using an ancestral shape shifting ritual to protect their land. Martin, Diana and Java try to stop the creatures, but things become much more complicated when they are bitten and banished to a mystical spirit world. <23mn 38s>
