This has brought me a lot of joy over the past few months。

Hergé began writing these comics during the interwar period, though I first learned about Tintin watching the cartoon as a child。 What makes these comics endure? The fashion stands up better than expected。 Tintin's plus fours seem odd, but they work better than the pants he wears in Picaros。 And, if anything, the plus fours seem to be coming back into style now, at least if my students are any judge of style。 Tintin's jackets and Captain Haddock's sweater still look, well, pretty good。 It's easy Hergé began writing these comics during the interwar period, though I first learned about Tintin watching the cartoon as a child。 What makes these comics endure? The fashion stands up better than expected。 Tintin's plus fours seem odd, but they work better than the pants he wears in Picaros。 And, if anything, the plus fours seem to be coming back into style now, at least if my students are any judge of style。 Tintin's jackets and Captain Haddock's sweater still look, well, pretty good。 It's easy to point to things that don't work for today's critical audience。 Aside from the opera singer Bianca Castafiore, I'm not sure there's another woman in the entire set--I'd bet there are fewer than five。 Hergé's view of the modern world is very much of his time, warts and all。 In the interwar years, he veers from the political right to the left。 Tintin in the Congo is not included in this set, but his depiction of black men in the other stories has not aged well。 At best, it seems charitable to say one feels he was raised in imperial Belgium。 Later, Hergé matures, though his excitement over a world just a plane ride away remains。 Captain Haddock often curses at his enemies, referring to them as anthropophagi and at one point as Polynesians。 It's possible that these comics are well approached as capturing an enthusiasm for modernity。 Hergé's ships, spaceships, motorcycles, submarines, and cars are always detailed and excitingly powerful or speedy。 Whether it be the moon or buried treasure, it seems all possibilities are within the reach of this plucky band of friends。 。。。more

Interesting, the ISBN is for the boxed set only, each individual book within it does not have their own entry。I suppose I will have to review under another English language paperback edition for the individual books。A great boxed set, which thankfully I got at a discount。As far as I can tell it contains all the Tintin books except for Tintin in the Congo and as somebody who owns Tintin in the Congo I can tell you that that is no great loss!As well as the Tintins you expected it also contains the Interesting, the ISBN is for the boxed set only, each individual book within it does not have their own entry。I suppose I will have to review under another English language paperback edition for the individual books。A great boxed set, which thankfully I got at a discount。As far as I can tell it contains all the Tintin books except for Tintin in the Congo and as somebody who owns Tintin in the Congo I can tell you that that is no great loss!As well as the Tintins you expected it also contains the B&W Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and TinTin Alph-art。If you are a fan of Tintin, then this is for you。 。。。more
