Product Description

Product Description
This title includes: Volume 1 - "Tintin in the Land of the Soviets", "Tintin in the Congo". The first volume features "Tintin in the Congo", first published in book form in 1931 (in black & white only), "Tintin in the Congo" reflects the colonial attitudes of that period in its depiction of African people, which may cause offence to some readers. Herge himself admitted that he was influenced by the bourgeois, paternalistic stereotypes of the period.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pocket book, 12 Jun 2007
I have been a Tintin fan almost all my life. I have read all the Tintin adventures in my native language (finnish) and wanted to try finally the english translations. I liked it more, in finnish translations, that Snowy is Milou. Why they didn't use Milou when it's the original name? I also didn't like how small the book was (should read more carefully the "Product details" heh). The book could fit in a pocket and therefore would be a good on travel. So, translations(Snowy)and dimensions(too small): -2 stars

3.0 out of 5 stars Not like the later Tintin books...or have I grown up too much?, 7 Jul 2008
By Mr. Simon A. Macklin (Northampton, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved Tintin when I was younger, something like a quarter century ago. To try to disprove the second part of my title, I reread some of my favourites, such as "The Black Island", "Land Of Black Gold" et al. and found I still thought they were great!

I think the review which criticises the dimensions of the book is a bit churlish; that isn`t my area of complaint at all. I quite like the hardback format. Firstly, "...Soviets" is black and white and drawn rather too amateurishly for my liking. It`s tempting, as a reasonably talented artist, to redo the thing as it should be, in colour, and with Tintin not carrying about five stone of fat around his midriff! The story lacks the subtlety and humour that I expected too. Which leads me on to "...Congo". Definitely not easy reading through 2008 eyes, and whilst that isn`t Herge`s fault, the story isn`t great. You need to read it though - it`s a prequel to "Tintin in America", a story that whilst may not be one of the greatest, is still pretty good.

So, on balance, this is a purchase that you probably should make if you are in anything like my situation (that of being grown up but a big fan of Tintin in your youth), but if you are looking at this for your children, there are better ways of introducing one of the great graphic stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tintin volume 7 by Denny Bishop age 13, 7 Nov 2008
By Mr. Mark Bishop - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
a good triligy, plenty of humor, the mystery content is ok, but volume 5 is better. there is plenty of action, and tintin's sidekick, captain haddock is a guarantee for mayhem and madness, always bringing plenty of laughs. a good read from beginning to end.
