i loved them since my childhood, my mother had them all. and now so do i!

A century ago, on 22nd May to be precise; Georges Remi – the brainchild behind “The Adventures of Tintin”, was born. A 100 years gone, but the spirit of his character still remains fresh in every fan’s mind. Tintin was truly the result of painstaking efforts by Herge and his team. The comics featured beautiful drawings and accurate renderings of real locations, like Hotel Cornavin in Geneva, and maps of places like India. A unique story writer Herge was; he wonderfully weaved the animated adventures of the reporter and snowy with the facetous remarks of Captain Haddock. The lifeline of this fantastic man is truly admirable,go have a look at it – http://tintin.francetv.fr/uk/
Indubitably, I will soon be a collector’s fan…very soon indeed!

bought, but I think I missed reading The Seven Crystal Balls, oops. And I didn’t get the photo I wanted yesterday of Marian with all the books. So this goal remains active for the time being.

If you gather thistles, expect prickles

King Ottokar’s Sceptre p21

the 21 books that were on the back covers at the time Marian and I started reading them. I just have to read KOS and TIA. Have arranged to visit Marian next month when I shall take these books down to her.

now read, but I need to find out what we still have to read. The first two certainly. And I need to buy and read KOS although Marian got this from the library.

I love the Tintin books. I read them when I was growing up and I had most of the copies. Unfortunately I had to leave them behind when I moved to the US. Last year, I was able to buy the whole series! It was awesome. I have read and re-read them many times since and introduced my daughter to them too. She is still a little too young to enjoy them as much but I am sure she will when she grows up.

Asterix and Obelix are next on my list, along with Phantom comics. :)

So I’ve got four more to read, and then the first three:)

King Ottakar’s Sceptre, The Seven Crystal Balls, The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Red Sea Sharks

Read them all a few years ago. If you’re ever in Belgium, visit the comic strip museum. It has loads of Tintin stuff.
