 Tintin - a product of past thinking December 22, 2008

I was really taken aback to see the view of other cultures represented in this work. At some level, I know that peoples consciousness at the time was less enlightened but it was truly unnerving to see such blatant racism on display. I suppose there was some value there in the historical lesson, even if that wasn't the intent of the author. Awful!

Brilliant! Bought the whole set of 7 books for the kids (aged 8 10) and they loved them. The format is smaller than I remembered from my childhood but the kids didn't care. They read them over and over again. They also loved the Calvin and Hobbs books.
 Good price but little fun February 8, 2008

This is the main problem with all foreign comics: translation. In the original language you get all the word plays and jokes that don't really translate into any other language. Reading it in English doesn't transmit even half of the fun.
The Adventures of Tintin: Tintin in America / Cigars of the Pharaoh / The Blue Lotus (3 Complete Adventures in One Volume, Vol. February 2, 2008
I have purchased these Tin Tin Volumes the last few years for both of my sons (12 and 8) for Christmas. I read them when I was younger, but their appeal is timeless. They read their own, swap and read their brother's, and around July, read them again. Great for quiet car rides or getting your kids off the computer and reading.
Three in one all time classics October 10, 2007
Many of us grew up on Tintin and love them for their great nostalgia value, and reminisces of childhood, as well as the brave values of a simpler, more clarified world of yesteryear.br /This volume brings together three of the best loved Tintin classics in one handy volume- and for not much more than the price of one.br /They are:br /Tintin in Americabr /1931 , and gangsters rule the streets of Chicago. It is up to intrepid European journalist Tintin and his dog Snowy to tackle Al Capone , Mr Smiles and other gangsters, taking him from Chicago to the Wild West where he dodges Indians and Cowboys , and back again. br /br /Cigars of the Pharoahbr /br /First published in Le Petit Vingtieme between 8/12 1932 and 8/2 1934. The book appeared in 1934 . Redrawn in 1955. It was first published in English in 1971. br /br /br /A colourful and detailed adventure , Tintin and his dog Snowy meet up with an eccentric Egyptologist on a cruise , taking Tintin on a danger-filled adventure from Egypt to Arabia to India , in a hunt for whoever is behind the mystery of the Cigars of the Pharaoh , he is framed for heroin possesion , caught up in an Arabian war and sentenced to be executed , lost in the desert , locked up in a mental assylum in India , before being led to an international ring of drug trafficers. It is amazing the amount of detail Herge worked into these adventure comics. br /br /Many of us grew up on them and love them for the nostalgia value. br /I loved the animation in the underground Pharaoh's tomb. br /Written in 1936 , The Blue Lotus is the sequel to the colourful Cigars of the Pharaoh. In the Cigars of the Pharaoh , Tintin has almost succeeded in smashing an international gang of drug traffickers , managing to capture all of them except the leader who mysteriously crashes over a ravine. br /His further investigations lead him to China , then under threat from Japanese agression. br /Tintin comes up against a madman infected with a dart that sends the recipient insane , enraged British colonists out for revenge after having been humiliated by Tintin and the Japanese army , with the chief villain of the piece being Japanese businessman Mitsuhirato. br /This album drew protest form the Japanese government of the time , and was praised by Chiang Kai Shek , President of the Republic of China. br /However, it was banned by China's Communist regime until 1984 , due to some of their own insane Maoist reasoning-and even then was still chopped up and heavily edited. br /Other albums having been banned by the Communist dictatorship in China where Tintin in Tibet (for recognizing Tibetan culture) , Tintin in the Land of the Soviets (for exposing Communism)and Tintin in the Congo ('Colonialist').
