Even without the insipid racism & European exceptionalism of the earlier books, you could argue the Tintins are very white and middle class. However, by now, Hergé is on a roll giving young readers of all classes, everything they could want in old school, thrilling adventure. This was the escapism I relished growing up, taking the stories from the library, again & again. These were my gateway drug into a lifetime addiction of comics.
