Initially an adventurer and freelance agent, Bob Morane over the course of his adventures finds himself in more complex and fantastical plots.
Since its debut in 1953, the series has produced over 200 novels, 80 graphic novels and a live action series and an [[WesternAnimation/BobMorane animated series]].
----
Tropes:
* BreakoutVillain: Mr Ming, introduced in 33th story ‘’The Crown of Golconda’’, quickly became the most popular villain and took over Roman Orgonetz’ role as Bob Morane’s Archenemy. Many adaptations and reboots give him AdaptationalEarlyAppearance.
* ComicBookTime: Played Straight. Ever since 1953, Bob perpetually remains 33 years old and no one ever ages over the course of the long-running series.
* ADayInTheLimelight: ''The Conviction of The Yellow Sadow'' exclusively follows Bill as [[spoiler: he seeks revenge for Bob's presumed death.]]
* DontCallMeSir: A [[RunningGag recurring playful banter]] between the two heroes. Bill always calls and refers to Bob as "commander". Everytime Bob asks Bill to stop calling him that because the war is long over, Bill replies "[[TheGadfly Yes, commander]]."
* GenreRoulette: The series started as straight adventure fare before quickly including elements of espionage, crime fiction, science-fiction and fantasy.
* GrandfatherClause: The Yellow Shadow is based on very dated {{Orientalism}} and YellowPeril tropes but since he's the Archenemy and a popular villain, he still appears in recent reboots and adaptations.
* GirlOfTheWeek: Many stories feature one-off love interests for Bob Morane.
* HeterosexualLifePartner: Bob Morane and Bill Ballantine whose friendschip started when they were soldiers during WWII.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every book involving Ming - [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness except for his first appearance]] (‘’The Crown of Golconda’’)- has "Yellow Shadow" in the title, often like "[[TheXOfY X of the Yellow Shadow]]"
* InnateNightVision: Bob is noted for his ability to see in the dark.
* IntrepidJournalist:
** Bob himself is occasionally a freelance reporter for ‘’Reflets’’ magazine.
** Sophia Paramount is a British journalist who’s also an expert in martial arts.
* NationalStereotypes: Being Scottish, the red haired Bill is naturally hot-tempered, alcoholic and superstitious.
* NoHuggingNoKissing: In spite of the numerous girls of the week, the series rarely gives more than a few ShipTease between them and Bob because the publisher aims for a young audience. [[ It's sometimes implied that Bob goes further with the lady after the end of the adventure]].
* NoPronunciationGuide: Bill Ballantine's surname is a minor source of contention. The live-action series and the song "L'Aventurier" pronounce it "Ballan-''teen''" like French people do but the animated series pronounces it "Ballan-''tine''" which makes sense because he's Scottish.
* {{Novelization}}: Some of the novels are [[RecursiveAdaptation adapted from the original comics]].
* OurHeroIsDead: At the end of ''Revenge of the Yellow Shadow'', Bob is fatally shot by Mr Ming and falls off a bridge. ''Conviction of The Yellow Shadow'' reveals that [[spoiler: Bob survived thank to [[PocketProtector a talisman in his jacket]] then decided to fake his death and secretly help Bill to find Ming.]]
* RepetitiveName:
** [[DragonLady Ylang-Ylang]] who's actually named after an Indonesian tree also known as cananga tree.
** The Villain of ''Island of the Past'' is named Evariste Evaristos
* RevengeOfTheSequel: We have both ''Revenge of the Yellow Shadow'' and ''Return of The Yellow Shadow''.
* SpoilerCover: [[https://img.livraddict.com/covers/169/169367/couv40505518.jpg One of the covers]] of ''Revenge of the Yellow'' blatantly spoils the penultimate chapter where Bob is shot by Ming.
* TimePolice: The Time Patrol, lead by Colonel Louis Graigh, is a brigade from the distant future that protects the timeline from . They occasionally employ Bob and his friends in their missions.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: The Ananke Arc, spanning over 5 novels and a short story, features Bob and his friends stranded in the fantastic and hostile world of Ananke.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Bob Morane strongly believes that life is sacred and refrains from killing his ennemies. On a few occasions, he reluctanly has to kill out of self-defense.
* YellowPeril: Mr Ming is a cruel and [[AmbiguouslyHuman inhumane]] Mongol who calls himself "The Yellow Shadow". It's worth to note that he took that moniker because of his creed that "[[WellIntentionedExtremist The yellow of light will come from the shadow]]" and not because of his skin color.
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Bill exclusively calls and refers to Bob as "commander". When Bob is seemingly killed by Ming, he swears "I will avenge you, Bob!".
