One of the most iconic characters in children’s books

The world’s most famous travelling reporter solves the mystery of the Black Island. Wrongly accused of a theft, Tintin is led to set out with Snowy on an adventure to investigate a gang of forgers. 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 and having been adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson in 2011. The Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 80 years after they first found their way into publication. Since then an estimated 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.

It's really funny that the gorillas are scared of Snowys bark

I like the comic and that there are not to many words involved. I also loved the plot of the story.

This book is fiction and looks like a comic, but is a book. I found this read brilliant. I liked how the gorilla was scared of Snowy, and Snowy was scared of a tiny spider. I liked the villains that where comiting the crime.

It was cool how Ranko was a terrible beast at the beginning, but something strange happens about him without you even seeing it.
