Customer Reviews

Wonderful stories, but don't get the 3-in-1 books4
The print and pictures are TINY in this edition. Definitely get the bigger books. But my 3 kids LOVE all these stories -- they're 8, 6, and 5.

Brings Back Memories5
A random search on 'Tintin' on Amazon.com brought back powerful memories of my happy youth, when my brother and I would save up our pocket money every month to buy used copies from local booksellers in the musty streets of Delhi. The books would be marked with pen and sundry stains, but, to us, they were a reminder of what lay just beyond our reach.

We would be fascinated by Tintin's travels through the most exotic places in the world (and beyond!). What colorful characters Haddock and Calculus are! For some reason, King Ottokar's Sceptre was always my favorite one, but almost all comics in this series are classics.

I would especially urge any one with young children to buy every Tintin comic book in existence, but, really, these comics will please all age groups.

Best Books I've ever read.5
I'm 13 now, I've been reading Tintin since about I was 8 I used to get them imported from Paris (now from amazon). They are an Awsemoe! series best I've read Funny, Sad, great drawings etc... A must buy for ANY age.
