Reviews for Tintin in the Congo
Forget this book: start your collection with The Blue Lotus
Tintin is a milestone in the European comics and in children litterature as well, just like Jules Verne was in his time. But don't get it wrong: the great cycle of Tintin's adventures starts with The Blue Lotus (you'll want to read The Pharaoh's Cigars in order to get the beginning of the story), in which book Herg, thanks to his Chinese friend (in real life) Chang Chong-Zhen, wrote and draw the kind of realistic yet humoristic story that would make the real grandeur of Tintin.
For those who read french or dutch (hoping an english translation will be published one day), I really advise to read "Herg: Son of Tintin" by Benoit Peeters. by a Book Depository customer
