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

The corners of the cover is slightly dented, other parts are in good shape.

Nice for collecting, came in great shape

To be read from 7 years old to 77 .! As the ad said it 's true .!

Finally got that! Whole Tintin collection was incomplete without this. A rare collection of course!

I LOVE the entire Tintin series. I had them all except..... this one. Now I have the complete collection and enjoy re-reading them just like some people like watching re-runs on the telly. I ordered the Hardbound version. It arrived in immaculate condition and is well worth the price. If you are a Tintin fan of any degree and do not have, or have not read, this first edition then you absolutely have to get it. (the first Tintin release dealing with the soviets is not considered a part of "The Adventures of Tintin" )

good condition, rare find to complete a collection. it took a long time for delivery and communication was a little shaky but it arrived.

Excelent

When I opened the book I noticed that the paper was matte and was of a reasonable thickness. I looked through the book and as far as I can see there aren't any overtly racist dialogue compared to the original book publication. The book is also the full-size format that makes it easy to read and enjoy while sitting back relaxed.

Tintin i Congo skrevs under en tid då synen på kolonialismen förskönades och svarta målades upp som lite mindre intelligenta. Det är en utgåva som skall läsas i sin kontext och ägas av sanna Tintin älskare och hör hemma i en komplett samling. Rekommenderas starkt!

The book was everything (and more) than I expected it to be. Due to the controversial colonial attitude the story portrays, availability of this book is limited, so if you want to complete your collection, I suggest in doing so soon before it is fazed out.

The storyline was somehow simple and at some points unbelievable compared to the later series.

Beautiful colour reprint true to the original. The original story, printed 95 years ago, may be offensive to “modern audiences” but it is a great story and perspective into 1930’s zeitgeist. A must have for fans, nothing to cry about. Thanks to the publisher and distributor on a great job. Note: the red banner shown on the cover is just a strip of paper, it’s not printed on the cover.

Good quality, goes well into the rest of the collection. my husband was missing this edition, he is very happy.
