Amazon.com Review
Concluding the story begun in The Secret of the Unicorn, Red Rackham's Treasure follows Tintin and friends as they search for the pirate booty procured by Captain Haddock's ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock, in the West Indies. They receive some unexpected help in the form of a hard-of-hearing inventor named Professor Calculus, who would go on to become one of the most endearing characters of the series. (Herge admitted that the character was one "whom I never suspected would take on such importance.") It's a lot of fun, with some submarine and diving adventures, humor from the Thompsons, and an unexpected (but satisfying) ending. --David Horiuchi

Fabulous
Tintin is great. I never tire of re-reading him.
Red Rackham's Treasure sees our erstwhile hero gallivanting off with Snowy, Captain Haddock and the Thompson Twins after the adventures outlined in "Secret of the Unicorn'. In this book we are introduced to the absent-minded Professor Calculus - it's always great to see how the drawing of characters change after a couple of adventures! - and his amazing shark submarine. Suffice it to say, deep-sea diving, bottles of rum, the odd shark, all lead to the golden treasure in a most unexpected place.
Everyone should read Tintin and this adventure is one of the best.

I Love Tintin!
Belgian writer Hergé (real name Georges Rémi) has done it again. The second of a 2 part story, Tintin and Haddock are setting out to sea, but will they actually find gold? This is the ep where we first meet Calculus.

My favorite Tintin story, we learn a great deal about Capt. Haddock's family, and see how Haddock gets Marlinspike Hall and even the treasure in the end! ^_^

Wonderful, wonderful
When I was a child, my grandparents had this at their home - part of a large children's book collection. I remember reading and rereading this book. As a child I loved everything about it. The wonderful art made me want to see each page time and again. Well worth it.
