een van die gewildste strokiesverhale wat in die twintigste eeu verskyn

avonture.
Die eerste verhaal van Kuifie verskyn op 10 Januarie 1929 as ’n bylae
tot die Franstalige Brusselse koerant Le Vingtième Siècle. Hergé skryf
en teken in die tydperk tussen 1929 en 1976 23 strokiesverhale (die
24ste verhaal bly onvoltooi).

Professor Hippolitus Katalis van die Sterrewag se voorspelling dat dit
die einde van die wêreld is, word nie bewaarheid nie wanneer die
meteoriet die aarde mis en ’n fragment daarvan in die Poolsee land.
Saam met ’n groep wetenskaplikes vertrek Kuifie, Spokie en kaptein
Sardijn op ’n ekspedisie om die stuk meteoriet te gaan bestudeer. Hulle
is egter nie die enigstes wat so ’n ontdekkingstog onderneem nie en gou
ontaard dit in ’n spannende resies om eerste daar te kom.
Professor Katalis het reeds ’n nuwe metaal in die meteoriet bespeur en
daar is baie op die spel.

Magic, mystery, and monsters abound in this series opener about a girl with the rare magical ability to look like anyone she’s ever seen. In misty Shelwich, magic rises and falls with the tides, everyone is born with a magical gift, and people have started to . . . disappear. Rumor has it they are snatched by monsters, but Ista Flit doesn’t want to believe it. Not when her own father is missing. As she scours the city, searching for clues, a notorious thief finds her. Ista has a rare she’s a face-changer, able to take on the appearance of anyone she’s seen, and Alexo could use a girl with her skill. Ista could use Alexo’s help in her search–if only she could trust him. As more people disappear from the city, Ista finds unexpected allies in Nat and Ruby, each searching for their own missing loved ones. These three determined kids will need to use all the Tidemagic they can summon, infiltrate the city’s highest elite circles, and dive into its lowest caverns, in order to find how thieves, monsters, and the missing are all connected.
