## Description

From the Publisher

Review: The Black Island - The Black Island Tintin story exists in 3 forms. The original 1937 black and white newspaper serial , this 1943 colour album version, and the 1966 redraw that was produced at the insistence of the publishers of the English editions, as they felt the portrayal of Britain was inaccurate and out of date. The 1966 version is the one that will be familiar to most Tintin fans. This 1943 version of the story works much better. It is very much of it's era, borrowing from Hitchcock's version of the 39 steps and contemporary newspaper stories of forgers. It has more slapstick in it and less sophistication than the later stories. The 1966 version is a bit clumsy by comparison, marrying a 30's Ripping Yarn with the sophisticated artwork that Studios Herge were producing in the 60s. It is a real treat to finally be able to look at both editions side by side, page by page. The excellent book " Tintin-The Complete Companion by Michael Farr" covers all this in great detail as well as info on all the other books and is a must have for anyone who loves these books as much as I do.
Review: The quality of the physical book - Loved all the Tintin books as a child. We used to borrow them from the public library. Now in my 60s I'm collecting them all in hardback. Bought 12 so far and they are all great quality and just how I remember from my childhood.
