Tintin in the Land of the Soviets
Tintin in the Land of the Soviets | Herge
4 posts | 11 read | 2 to read
The worlds most famous travelling reporter heads for Russia. Accompanied by his dog Snowy, Tintin leaves Brussels to go undercover in Soviet Russia. His attempts to research his story are put to the test by the Bolsheviks and Moscows secret police . . . Join the most iconic character in comics as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure spanning historical and political events, and thrilling mysteries. Still selling over 100,000 copies every year in the UK and having been adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson in 2011. The Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 80 years after they first found their way into publication. Since then an estimated 230 million copies have been sold, proving that comic books have the same power to entertain children and adults in the 21st century as they did in the early 20th. Tintin in the Land of the Soviets remains the only adventure not to have had its artwork coloured.

This collection of Tintin consists of the tagged story and “Tintin in the Congo”

The first story in the Soviet is in black and white with very simple drawings. In the story everyone is after Tintin, but as far as I can tell it‘s never explained why. It just a series of Tintin getting out of trouble.

The second story takes place in Congo. The illustrations are in color and Tintin looks more like himself. This is also more of a story.

AnneCecilie I didn‘t like any of them as much as I thought I would. I watched the cartoons in the 90s and loved them, the comics just wasn‘t the same. I owned this for over 10 yrs so I‘m glad to finally get it off my tbr. Another square done for #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks 4y

One of my inspirations for being a journalist (and for coats)!
Today, 89 years since the publication of this story!
