The Tintin 2015 Reading Challenge: The Crab with the Golden Claws
Next up in my Tintin Reading Challenge is The Crab with the Golden Claws. (Last time I read King Ottokar’s Sceptre). It’s been a while since I’ve posted on Tintin and, as before, I’m behind schedule so expect a few more Tintin posts close together soon 🙂 Another of my favourites – probably because it’s…

The Tintin 2015 Reading Challenge: King Ottokar’s Sceptre
The next entry in my Tintin Reading Challenge is King Ottokar’s Sceptre. (Previous entry is The Black Island). While I’m still running behind, I’m confident I can finish them all in 2015! And so, here’s my review: I felt Ottokar’s Sceptre was ‘only’ good rather than great. It’s not that there are any clear faults…

The Tintin 2015 Reading Challenge: The Black Island
Continuing my Tintin Reading Challenge is an entry for The Black Island. (Last time I read The Broken Ear). I’m actually running behind, so somewhere between now and December I’m going to have to post a few extra reviews in one month, but for now – here’s my response to the 7th adventure: Fantastic! Not…

The Tintin 2015 Reading Challenge: The Broken Ear
Finally posting the third entry in my 2015 Tintin reading challenge tonight with The Broken Ear! (So far I’ve also read Cigars & The Blue Lotus). This one’s a solid entry into the Tintin series for me– and a solid Tintin story is still pretty ace when you get down to it, but ultimately, it’s…

The Blue Lotus is a special one for a few reasons, it’s got a pretty fantastic cover and some wonderful large panels, especially when…

The Tintin 2015 Reading Challenge: Cigars of the Pharaoh
So, a while back I decided to read all the Tintin books in 2015, which I’m really looking forward to. The challenge itself is pretty simple – I have to read about 2 a month. What might take a bit of time will be tracking down the first few and the last one. (The others…

Tintin & Tess – a series of favourites, reflections and responses to Tintin by guest bloggers
. One of my fondest memories is discovering Tintin for the first time in a very dark corner of an empty high school library in West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea. It wasn’t my school—I was seven or eight at the time. The library was empty because it was a Sunday, and it was…

Tintin & Maekitso – a series of favourites, reflections and responses to Tintin by guest bloggers
My Grandpa introduced me to Tintin and Snowy when I must have been 10 or 11. As I remember it, we were sharing our stamp collections after lunch and it was almost time for afternoon tea. He gave me a stamp that had Tintin and Snowy on it. I asked him who Tintin and Snowy…
