I could not find the complete collection anywhere on the net except here. Basically if you have grown up between 1940s to 1990s outside United States, the chances are that you grew up watching Tintin cartoons and reading Tintin comic books. This collection brought back so many memories. These three are not included in this bundle but are available separately. It is basically an incomplete sketchbook of the last Tintin adventure. Tintin and Alph-Art was the very last book Herge was writing before he died in 1982. Tintin in the Congo has never been published both in color and in English in the United States (the version we carry is in French) although it is now available in Canada and the UK.
#The adventures of tintin books series
However, because they are not up to the same quality standard as the rest of the series ( Soviets was never redone like some of the others and is still in black & white) or are politically incorrect (i.e., Herge's racist portrayal of Africans and Tintin's hunting of elephants for their ivory), they have not been considered part of the Tintin "canon," and are rarely available. Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and Tintin Au Congo were the very first two Tintin books written in the early 1920's. We are willing to ship these all over the world, via USPS Priority international mail they ship in a large size box. The discount on this item cannot be combined with other discounts or specials. But because these are so discounted and we cannot control how packages are handled in transit, we charge additional postage costs to replace books with minor flaws. We guarantee to send out high quality copies, packaged safely. If it matters to you, the font is NOT the original Hyslop lettering (no longer published in the US), but the adapted typeset font. These books are paperback, approximately 9"x12", and not in a box. These full-color graphic novels broke new ground when they were first released and became the inspiration for countless modern-day comic artists. Join traveling reporter Tintin and his faithful dog Snowy, along with well-known friends-such as Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, and the Thomson/Thompson twins-as they embark on extraordinary adventures spanning historical and political events, fantasy and science-fiction adventures and thrilling mysteries all over the world and beyond. These classic comic books have delighted readers everywhere for more than 75 years (they are published in more than 90 languages!).
