(Also, it's worth pointing out that this s the first Tintin album where the contemporary scenes at least take place entirely in Belgium).
Indeed, Tintin's 11th adventure would loom large in the memories of fans as a truly timeless tale. Hergé considered this his greatest success to date when the 1942 serial was published in colour in 1943. And the finale, as we race toward revelation amidst the kidnapping of Tintin and the introduction of Marlinspike Hall, is constantly engaging. The mystery involving Tintin's model ship is truly intriguing, and full of characters who may or may not be involved in the plot. And it's great stuff - fast-paced, fantastical yet never implausible - but it's equalled by the rest of the tale. The album opens with two mysteries - that of the model ship, and the Thom(p)sons' investigation into a spate of wallet thefts - and weaves them together in a tale which involves historical fiction, kidnap, and an adventure that intimately involves both Tintin and Captain Haddock.Ĭertainly the most captivating sequence is Haddock's retelling of his ancestor's tale: a pirate story which is vividly retold for us by Herge, who never lags even in the frames which feature Haddock retelling the story to an amazed Tintin. Gone is the padding of, and there are no wasted characters or moments, which follows logically on from the well-characterised.
