If you've read The Seven Crystal Balls and are gaging to read the sequal then here it is! This engaging comic follows Snowy, Tintin and his coif to Peru in search of the kidnapped Professor Cuthbert Calcus!
Now that all seven members of the Sanders-Hardiman expedition are in a strange hypnotic sleep its up to Tintin to solve the mystery!
We also wait in anticipation to see if Captain Haddock can survive without his spare monocles!
A excellent read!

This is one cartoon character which doesn't need any review. Every single story is a favourite of mine and I wish they would turn each of that into a motion picture. An excellent addition to my Tintin collection.

Format:Hardcover
The second part of a 2-part series, this comes after 'the seven crystal balls' and was first published in 1949. I think this is on a par with the excellent 'Tintin in Tibet' in being a good all-round adventure story, pretty scary in places (at least for a 7-to-10-year old), respectful of other cultures and anti-racist. The drawing and coloration is top-notch, the setting (Peru) is great, the quest is noble - it is all here, it is all good. My only quibble is that the trick by which our heroes escape from a horrible fate (I can't give away the plot, of course - don't want to spoil it for anyone!) is rather unbelievable - the Inca were pretty sophisticated where that particular subject was concerned.
Altogether an excellent story. If you are new to the Tintin series, I would start with Tintin in Tibet, the Cigars of the Pharaoh, or Land of Black Gold; but as a follow-up, this 2-parter is excellent fodder for kids and the young-at-heart alike.
