Joseph Collins
The Crab with Golden Claws
The Calculus Affair
Tintin in Tibet
Red Sea Sharks
Jaxon Young
not much if at all.
Jonathan Scott
Yeah.
He killed like 50 zebras and dynamite a Rhino.
Also teach the black kids about how their nation and royalty is to France or something.
Luis Mitchell
couple o problems with that statement
1 Tintin is Belgian
2 So was Congo at that time
3 France was not a monarchy
Landon Russell
Unicorn, Golden Claw, goes to America.
John Lee
The Calculus Affair, the Moon two-parter, in Tibet, King Ottokar's Sceptre
Ian Williams
Right, my fault
Ryder Myers
Tintín in Tibet
Carter Bell
Golden Claws, King Ottokar's Sceptre, Cigars of the Pharaoh, there's a lot of good ones.
Jayden Robinson
Flight 714 because it’s so fucking apeshit crazy
Christopher Sullivan
Patricians choice
Xavier Collins
I liked the animated series
Isaac Nguyen
>Sequel movie never ever
I miss globetrotting adventure movies so much you guys...
Isaiah Allen
Tintin was gooood.
Charles Thomas
Never read TIntin. Ordered a couple of albums last week:
>Tintin in America
>Tintin in Tibet
>Tintin and the Picaros
Isaiah Miller
Tintin in america is plot armor: the comic.
Ethan Wood
>no Blue Lotus
Frère.
Oliver Russell
You should read Blue Lotus before Tibet. Tibet is about Tintin trying to find his lost chinese butt-buddy he met in Blue Lotus.
Lucas Barnes
I liked every book except the first three. Outside of those, Flight 714 is usually less liked (I'm not sure why) but I liked it a lot.
Aiden Collins
>I'm not sure why
To some Tintin "purists", the further Tintin strays from grounded reality (in the sense of magic and shit) the less Tintin it is. The goofy unrealistic car chases are fine, "Aliens and Incas and shit" is sketchier.
Also Soviets is quaint and really every album has value, the early ones are clear building blocks, Hergé's naiveté shines through and you see where he grew from.
Sebastian Price
I definitely appreciate the first three books, but I don't like them like the rest. I pretty much love 15 out of the 23 books (not counting Alph-Art) and revisit them often.
Chase Cox
Remember when they made cartoons with the main characters traveling all over the world having adventures?
Joseph Taylor
My main issue with supernatural Tintin plots is it makes something like Castafiore's Jewels look stupid. You can't have Scully be wrong and right in alternating stories, that just fucks up your wordlbuilding.
Jose Powell
Blake Brown
Popular all around the world except in America.
then, you decide to make a movie that try its hardest to pander to american.
Liam Howard
>You should read Blue Lotus
The Black & White version.
Adam Davis
I feel like everyone's too scared to portray other cultures "insensitively" so they just look inwards instead.
Matthew Sullivan
I don't know who to blame really. Hergé was right in thinking 80s Spielberg would fit the tone of later Tintin albums, Indiana Jones did capture part of it. But what 21st century Spielberg understood of Indiana Jones, Tintin, and audiences isn't what it what all about.
Goddamnit Trey Parker was right.
Dylan Bennett
I wonder why that is?
Can't be because of people who likely have never left their air conditioned buildings, let alone actually seen the state of another country being offended on their behalf, can it?
Carson Wood
What is the difference?
Christopher Bailey
Tintin is not that big in the Middle East.

It is not quite like Tintin or Spirou or even Ducktales, but they are made for kids.
Adam Baker
it's the original version. The Blue Lotus really was meant to be b&w.
Adam Reyes
It's like choosing between your children.
>Best 30s Tintin:
Probably the easiest period for me to rate. Also the weakest period IMO.
1. Blue Lotus
2. Broken Ear
3. Ottokar's Sceptre
> Best 40s Tintin:
This is tough. But if I have to go by which I have read the most it probably looks like this.
1. Seven Crystal Balls
2. Secret of the Unicorn
3. Prisoners of the Sun
>Best 50s Tintin:
Clear winner, really love pic related, but the runner ups are tough. Probably the best period. Like a series of really good wine years.
1. Red Sea Sharks
2. Tintin in Tibet
3. Land of Black Gold --> Calculus Affair is a hard contender to the point I will consider them tied.
> Best late period (60s+) Tintin:
These require explanations.
1. Castafiora Emerald
This one has really grown on me. Found it kinda slow and boring as a kid. As an adukt I love it for its brilliant storytelling, use of limited locations and humor.
2. Alph-art
>Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
From what we have of it, it shaped up to be a really good back-to-basics adventure story that still explored new directions. Tintin deserved that waifu god fucking dammit!
3. Flight 714 to Sydney
I am in the camp that really likes Hergé's take on aliens as part of the Tintin universe. Also has some of the funniest villain moments in any Tintin story - no, in any medium ever. Fight me.
Austin Howard
Tintin is doomed to be shipped with Archibald Haddock.
Aaron Gutierrez
It's like people can't allow men to just be bros anymore.
Connor Fisher
Seven Crystal Balls
Asher Ross
Tintin in Thailand
It's actual bootleg comic from 1980s featuring Tintin having gay sex with Chang, Captain Haddock in Titty Bar complaining Chinese strippers have no tits and Nestor The Butler turning Marlinspike Hall into S&M dungeon while they're away. Seriously you don't believe me, go look it up.
Jaxon Ramirez
There's a long tradition for this kind of porn parody in european comics. There were some (German?) Smurf cmut comics made in the 70s and 80s IIRC.
Justin Jones
Did he suck trap dick?
