Martin Riddle

An eccentric American archaeologist and jungle explorer from the 19th century, Martin Riddle is best known for his comedic yet adventurous encounter with Chico in Veracruz. Accompanied by his stoic assistant Jeeves, Riddle embarked on a quest to uncover a lost Mayan pyramid an adventure filled with bizarre twists and satirical echoes of the modern-day Martin Mystère universe.

With his distinct resemblance to Martin Mystère and a name that hints at legacy, Riddle has been widely embraced by fans as Martin’s great-grandfather. His popularity even led to new adventures being featured in Corriere del Mystero, where his blend of mystery, humor, and old-school exploration continues to entertain.

A brilliant parody and a beloved character in his own right, Martin Riddle stands as a playful bridge between the past and present of the Bonelli multiverse.
