I will not repeat the many well-written reviews here concerning the content of the books. But the formatting and editing of this new issue of 3-in-1 stories bears mention:
1. Herge himself revised these works several times since their original publication, so some frames may have been altered as a result. This was especially true in stories like "Congo".
2. Like comics and graphic novels worldwide, the books have been attacked by the shrinkers, who apparently believe we don't care what size the images are in, so long as we can read the text. This is a real shame, as it is the compelling large-format incredibly and accurately detailed images that made the Tintin stories so fun to read to begin with.
All that being said, you'll enjoy this nostalgia trip down memory lane. But after reading them once, you may end up selling them on Amazon.... I probably will sell my set here.Get more detail about The Adventures of Tintin, Vol. 6: The Calculus Affair / The Red Sea Sharks / Tintin in Tibet (3 Volumes in 1).
