| - The first story is set in 1952, a few years after the end of the Second World War, and the last was set in 1969. Issue 295 featured a story set in Manaus during year 2000. The special issue number 8 featured a story with Martin Mystère. Mister No's real name is Jerome Drake Junior, his father being Jerome Senior, and he was born c. 1922. He is a former soldier who served in the United States Army. After the Second World War he moved to Manaus, in the middle of the Brazilian Amazon Forest to escape from the horrors of the war. Half hero, half anti-hero, he fights for his own peace and tranquility which he hopes to gain in those wild territories. He works as an aeroplane pilot and tour guide, flying his Piper. His best friend is the German Otto Kruger, whom he first met in São Luis. Otto was nicknamed Esse-Esse (S-S) by Brazilians because of his past as an officer in the Nazi German Army. Jerry, like Esse-Esse, is a lazy man who likes hanging around in Paulo Adolfo's cantina, drinking cachaça and flirting with girls, and he often gets involved in dangerous activities and trouble against his will. Although many of Mister No's adventures take place in Brazil, there are several which take place in other Latin American countries, North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Mister No is very popular in Turkey and the countries of the former Yugoslavia (especially Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, and Montenegro) where the comic book is currently being published and distributed by Serbian edition Veseli Četvrtak.
