Tintin in the Congo (The Adventures of Tintin): Collector's Edition (Adventures of Tintin, 24)

Excellent book. Shame people are too offended these days.

It's Tintin as it was - which needs to have the warnings that are included on the cover and description.While most of the collected Tintin works are described as complete, this particular volume is excluded. This is because it represents the attitude of European society at the time of writing towards Africa and it's people, the roles of missionaries, and around game hunting.Personally, I think they way the book is presented is correct - acknowledge that it represents what was, and that it is no longer appropriate in modern society, but also don't hide it away,. Use it as a learning opportunity to improve current perspectives.

Legendary author and legendary series . This is the best Tintin book.

Herge's early work, still finding his feet. Probably the weakest Tintin book. Still worth a look. Of it's time.

Perhaps on the expensive sideGreat story

Takes you back !

As the introduction makes clear it’s of its time and very much not PC from any number of angles. But nonetheless a classic Tintin story that any completionist should read so as not to leave them traumatised from not having read all the books.

My first sight of this edition of Tintin and the character was still in development and may not be what you are familiar with if you compare to such as Tintin in America. Certainly the views depicted within the story are of the period and I feel this book is only for the collector who wants the complete series.
