Anyway, Asterix was much better.
Juan, the translations of Asterix and Tintin into English are great actually, pretty much all the puns and humour are adapted really well.
Kingtut, why does that not surprise me, I suspect you spent your childhood reading the ingredients on Ginster's wrappers. 😉
I don't really have a favourite Tintin book, they all kind of merge into each other, like James Bond films. When I was a kid I liked King Ottaker's Sceptre (where he thwarts the Nazis) and the Blue Lotus (where he saves Chinese people from the clutches of the dastardly Japanese). Although the politics were completely lost on me at the time I wonder if my parents steered me towards the more PC ones.
Noteeth, if you haven't read it already Harry Thompson's biography of Herge is well worth a look.
And Geordie Tintin is great. "You radge puff."
My current favourite!
