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 24 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 flies out to Khemed to investigate a case of arms smuggling and the involvement of an old friend. There’s a rebellion in Khemed and the Emir’s life is in danger! He has entrusted his mischievous son to Captain Haddock’s care, but when an old friend of Tintin’s is caught smuggling arms to the Khemed rebels, they must jump straight on a plane to find out what on earth is going on . . . 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 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.

This is a very exciting sea adventure, with Tintin and Captain Haddock getting into lots of scrapes as usual. I would recommend it.

I like the bit where they were in the Red Sea and they had to build a raft because the boat they were on had a fire on it.

It was funny when Captain Haddock fell in the water and had a stingray on his head and spat a fish out of his mouth!
