In this "three in one," Tintin rescues his old friend, the absent minded and hard of hearing Professor Calculus from the Bordurian Government who wants to make his invention into a weapon of mass destruction. Then Tintin travels to Tibet to rescue his close friend Chang Chon-Yen from the Abominable Snowman. Finally he busts the gang of Rasapoulos, the evil king of Cosmos Pictures, and lands him behind bars once and for all.
The 3-in-1 format provides excellent value, but the small size (about 40% smaller than the single-story paperbacks) makes it harder to enjoy the detail in Herge's layouts.

Hergé (pseudonym of Georges Remi), Belgian author and illustrator, created Tintin in 1929 and produced 24 volumes of the internationally famous bande dessinée by the time of his death. Known as the father of the modern European comic book, Hergé's impeccable style and superb use of color won him international acclaim after the Second World War, and the books have been translated from the original French into some 40 languages.

Two of the three adventures here have their genesis in earlier Tintin adventures. Red Sea Sharks takes Capt Haddock back to a ship, and this time we see his metamorphosis from the drunkard in Tintin and the Golden Crab to a responsible and almost noble person who tries his best (in his inimitable manner) to prevent Africans from being sold in slavery. Tintin in Tibet sees Tintin off to Tibet (obviously), with a short stop in Delhi, to rescue his friend who he first met in 'The Blue Lotus'. We meet the yeti, see the captain's attempts at whistling, Snowy's bravery (unintended, as in The Black Island).

I loved Tintin as a child, hadn't read them for years, a thought I'd buy the complete set... I love them still now! I have a different appreciation of them now, but still think they are some of the best Graphic Novels/Comics/Sequential Art ever written/drawn! The English translations are brilliant with a lot of thought having gone into them; they are not just word for word copied from the French. I strongly recommend for anyone with a sense of adventure! |

TINTIN is a great book for kids and parents. When you read this book you enter an adventure. This book is scary and strange in some parts. It is about a kid that always has a problem to solve. He has a dog and a friend that are always with him. In this book Tintin has to chase these bad guys. I promise you will like this book. |

For reasons unknown, at almost 43 years old, I suddenly had this strange desire to read some of the Tintin stories I read when I was about 12. As a kid I spent countless hours reading Herge's books over and over. If memory serves, I only had 5 or 6 titles, and they were big books with hard covers.
This book is a great value since it contains 3 stories. Oh what memories they bring back. If you ever read Tintin as a kid, get some of these books. The only caveat is that the text is hard to read as these collections are smaller in size and both the drawings and text have been shrunk proportionately.
And yet another "warning." You may start buying the bigger individual stories once you read one of these. I should know. I am now hooked again and "collecting" all 23 volumes.
Thank you, Herge. We miss you.
