About this product

Product Information

The young reporter Tintin and his faithful dog Snowy set off on assignment to Africa. But a sinister stowaway follows their every move and seems set on ensuring they come to a sticky end. Tintin and Snowy encounter witch doctors, hostile tribesmen, crocodiles, boa constrictors and numerous other wild animals before solving the mystery and getting their story. First published in book form in 1931 (in black & white only), Tintin in the Congo reflects the colonial attitudes of that period in its depiction of African people. Herge himself admitted that he was influenced by the bourgeois, paternalistic stereotypes of the period. This is also true of the treatment of big-game hunting and the attitude towards animals. All copies of the book will be displayed with a belly-band advertising its content.

      Never received this order. Sent afew messages to seller to try find out why? No reply. Raised an claim through Ebay but said still wanted order but ended up getting part refund, not full amount!? Again no communication from seller? Or reason for part refund instead of full refund. Very poor customer service & no communication. Wouldn't buy from them again. Avoid.

    • The Earliest Tintin in Colour - Warning - 1930s Contemporary Content

      Tintin in The Congo was the second story created by Herge featuring the boy reporter. It appeared in the early 1930s in strip form in a French magazine in black and white. A version in colour was produced in 1946. The story did not appear in English until 1991 - this was in its original black and white format in a collectors edition. It finally appeared in colour format in 2005. The reason for the long delay in issuing the book in English was two fold - firstly the earlier stories were issued in English last - this was because when the stories started being issued in book form, the most recent stories were issued first, it was only when new stories stopped being produced, that the English Publishers turned to the older stories; secondly because of the controversial content and its ...
