The best things about Tintin are:1. Snowy.2. Captain Haddock's cursing and insults.3. Total preposterousness. The worst things about Tintin are:1. Patronising/offensive racial stereotyping.2. Patronising/offensive national stereotyping.3. Annoying cliff-hangers at the end of books. The above are...

It is the last of the Tintin books and it is very sad. It is unfinished, due to the creator passing away while making this book. Leaeves an empty place inside you when the story fades in to blank paper.

The other volume starts with Tintin in America, which is contained in volume 2 of ...

I used to love this one as a kid because it had lots of machine guns in it. However, since I have returned to reading the Tintin books so that I know what I am writing about (as opposed to some books that I am not really interested in rereading, namely because they are too long and that there are ot...
