Having fun with Herge

The Adventures of Tintin: Tintin in America / Cigars of the Pharaoh / The Blue Lotus by Hergé

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Interesting to see the work of Herge as an American. His stories are long and involved and entertaining. However, the images and some text are quite overtly racists. Granted, these stories were first published in the 1940s and 50s, so I suppose it is just a product of its time. Despite that uncomfortable part, the stories are fun and well-drawn, and quite interesting! Herge was a talented man!
