One of the most iconic characters in children’s literature Hergé’s classic comic book creation Tintin is one of the most recognisable characters in children’s books. These highly collectible editions of the original 23 adventures will delight Tintin fans old and new. Perfect for lovers of graphic novels, mysteries and historical adventures. The world’s most famous travelling reporter searches for the truth behind the theft of some priceless works of art. Tintin and his friends are holidaying in Syldavia with Professor Calculus, who has invented an amazing new duplicating machine. But a series of strange occurrences makes Tintin suspicious. Who is the mysterious “King Shark…, and what does he want with Calculus’ machine? Is there a connection with the recent theft of famous works of art from the world’s leading museums? Tintin is determined to find out! 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.

It was funny when Captain Haddock was singing with a opera singer because he didn’t like opera music ,he sang this blisterika blushtika.l disliked the part when the pilot was spying on Tintin because the pilot was reporting to king shark, he made Tintin in danger before .

I really like this book because it was a film first and they sort of do it as a film like they had the what the narrator said and wrote it down in the book. I would reccommened this to 8+

I have always loved the Tintin books but this one wasn't as funny. I would recommend it to people who like a funny active commic.

I like the bit where they escape from the flooding hideout, which belongs to Rastapopulous', the ganster, Tintin's worst enemy.
