ADV TINTIN HC (2025)

"(W/A) Hergé Tintin travels to China in The Blue Lotus, a tale which is generally considered Herge's first masterpiece. It's also Tintin's only foray into actual history, specifically the Sino-Japanese conflicts of the early 1930s. The political tensions combined with the chilling threats of drugs give the story an especially high and realistic sense of danger. Herge paints a vivid picture of China and takes the opportunity to denounce ethnic prejudices."

"Tintin and Snowy travel to the mysterious Orient in two classic graphic novels: Cigars of the Pharaoh from 1932, presented in its full, unedited version; and The Blue Lotus, generally considered Herge's first masterpiece. It's also Tintin's only foray into actual history, specifically the Sino-Japanese conflicts of the early 1930s."
