for some reason the public library in my town had all those books so i read and loved em all as a kid. seems very few americans are familiar with em except for teh britishes.

I can't get the Congo or the Siberian ones, but the rest I can put my hands on.

this restaraunt has Tintin plastered all over its walls. amazing mussels too (uh oh, not a food thread)

This was exactly my situation. Moms would drop me off at the library and I would just hang out, reading Tintin. Loved that shit.

ditto Asterix.

i don't remember how we got into tintin, but my whole family are tintin fans. my dad was a big classic comics guy, so he must've been the one who discovered them. i grew up with the whole series in the living room bookcase, i read them about a zillion times each. my little brother was in town this past weekend and went to that belgian place (i've never been there) and came back all excited about all the tintin stuff.

i liked asterix too -- owned them all at one point -- but it's not really in tintin's league.

i sort of forgot about tin tin when i got into little nemo in sluberland. and i used to read the shit out of asterix and groo!

tintin has a lot in common actually with the carl barks duck comics of roughly the same period -- it's that raiders of the lost ark era, all that exotic third-world adventuring, lost tribes and hidden tombs and everything. (a lot of which of course reads as racist in retrospect.)

wasn't tintin in the congo kept out of print for years because of that? or not translated into english or something? i never saw it until i was in college, i think.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Friday, 17 March 2006 22:59 (twenty years ago)

I think it's still not in english.

I have a Tintin tshirt somewhere. It's too big, so I will have to cut it up and resew it.

Congo is not in print in the US -- I think a decision by the US publisher. Or possible the original Belgian pub house decided not to offer the rights? In any case, Congo and Siberia are unavailable, which is a shame because the Siberian cover art/design is totally great.

I'd post a cover image here but I'm on the library computer, can only have one browser window open at a time, and can't download anything to the desktop -- so I can't photobucket the art and I don't know how to hotlink (if that's what it's called). GIS!

Can someone explain the depiction of a negro walking around shirtless but wearing cuffs, a collar, & a tie???

― m[ad(a)m]an (ULï¿½) (blastocyst), Sunday, 19 March 2006 19:59 (twenty years ago)

Is it the negro's (unsuccessful) attempt at looking like a refined white man?

I read the shit out of these, growing up in India and France where Tintin and Asterix (and Lucky Luke, which no one else seems to know about) were big deals.
