The Official Classic Children’s Illustrated Mystery Adventure Series

Description

One of the most iconic characters in children’s books

Hergé’s classic comic book creation, Tintin, is one of the most recognisable characters in children’s literature. These highly collectible editions of the original 24 adventures will delight Tintin fans old and new. Perfect for lovers of graphic novels, mysteries, and historical adventures.

Tintin, Captain Haddock, and Professor Calculus are on their way to Sydney, Australia. Through a chance meeting, they are invited to travel on board the private jet of billionaire Lazlo Carreidas. However, they fall victim to a plot to kidnap Carreidas and are captured by Tintin's arch enemy, Rastapopoulos.

Join the most iconic character in comics as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure spanning historical and political events, and thrilling mysteries. Still selling over 100,000 copies every year in the UK, Tintin has been adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson in 2011.

The Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 90 years after they first found their way into publication. Since then, more than 230 million copies have been sold, proving that comic books have the same power to entertain children and adults in the 21st century as they did in the early 20th.

Hergé (Georges Remi) was born in Brussels in 1907. Over the course of 54 years, he completed over 20 titles in The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of all time.
