One of the most iconic characters in children’s literature
Hergé’s classic comic book creation Tintin is one of the most
recognisable characters in children’s books. These highly
collectible editions of the original 24 adventures will delight
Tintin fans old and new. Perfect for lovers of graphic novels,
mysteries and historical adventures. The world’s most famous
travelling reporter must attempt to catch an Emerald thief. When
Captain Haddock meets a palm reader, he dismisses a forewarning
about a beautiful lady's stolen jewels. But when the famous opera
singer Bianca Castafiore suddenly descends on Marlinspike Hall, the
palm reader’s prediction seems to be all too real. Can Tintin
catch the emerald thief? Join the most iconic character in comics
as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure spanning historical and
political events, and thrilling mysteries. Still selling over
100,000 copies every year in the UK and having been adapted for the
silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson in 2011. The
Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 90 years after
they first found their way into publication. Since then more than
230 million copies have been sold, proving that comic books have
the same power to entertain children and adults in the 21st century
as they did in the early 20th. Hergé (Georges Remi) was born in
Brussels in 1907. Over the course of 54 years he completed over 20
titles in The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered
to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of
all time. Have you collected all the graphic novel adventures?
