Just a reminder, that Golden Crab, Shooting Star, and Unicorn/Rackham are totally apolitical adventures because they were written during the german occupation, and this caused big troubles for Hergé after the war.

Indeed, though I've never really looked into the troubles it caused him much.

He was arrested, went on trial and couldn't publish for three years

Ah, that might also explain where the Tintin magazine came from then.

And that's that, now we have a castle. We're also now halfway through the comics, with 12 books left.
Next week, Seven Crystal Balls.
Thanks, OP Gonna start reading it now.
'nother bump
I liked the cursing parrots on the island. This one had a lot of funny bits.

He was working for Le Soir that was taken over by the Nazis. Le Centurie Vingtieme was shut down because it was Catholic even though Wallez was a Nazi supporter.

>Wallez was a Nazi supporter.
Well shit, didn't know about that.
Takes me back, I used to have every single one of these in hardcover as a kid. Bandes dessinees were pretty much the only reason I tolerated going through french immersion.
>>77907976
This and the preceding one are some of my favorites. The fact that Calculus shows up for the first time helps.
good job op
I did like Calculus, but I always wondered why Herge decided he'd be one of the new main characters. The Captain as well.
A lot about both of them in their first stories just seemed like they'd be a "character of the day" type deal, like the professor from Ottakers
Thanks OP, bump.
>>77912505
Dunno, could just be a good response from the readers that made him decide to keep em.
Need someone else to bump for the night.
Just leave the thread die.
/co/ is full of casuals who don't care about this kind of stuff, and the small group of regulars can find the thread in desustorage if they miss it.
Thanks OP. Much appreciated, used to love reading these when I was a kid.
By the power of HERGE, I bump thy
Bumpin
Wow that's the first time I come on a Tintin thread, does someone know why Tournesol is called Calculus in english ?
(his literal translation should have been Professor Sunflower)

>Wow that's the first time I come on a Tintin thread, does someone know why Tournesol is called Calculus in english ?
So he can have an aliterative name
>Tryphon Tournesol
>Cuthbert Calculus
I guess the translator could have named it Sylvester Sunflower, but Calculus is more science-ish.
Not a big deal, it's worse to change Milou for Snowy tbqh
>>77923398
OP is posting one Tintin book every Thursday. Hope to see you next time
