Tintin_cover_-_Red_Rackham's_TreasureDescription:

Red Rackham’s Treasure (French: Le Trésor de Rackham le Rouge) is the twelfth of The Adventures of Tintin, a series of classic comic-strip albums written and illustrated by Belgian writer and illustrator Hergé, featuring young reporter Tintin as a hero.

After destroying the vessel, Sir Francis fled to a nearby island. Tintin and Captain Haddock believe that the pirate’s treasure is in the remains of the sunken Unicorn.

Tintin-26-Tintin in Thailand

November25

Cover:

tintin in thailand

Description:

Tintin in Thailand is a parody of the The Adventures of Tintin books by Herge, released in 1999. It is written and designed to emulate a volume of the Tintin books, but is the author’s own story. It was deemed to have violated copyright laws and thus its publication is illegal.

Tintin in Thailand emulates the style and format of the original Tintin books, with some key differences. With the exception of the cover, the entire volume is in black and white. The characters are imitations of the originals, and are presented as acting uncharacteristically, such as by using profane language. Bud E. Weyser (a parody of Budweiser beer) is listed as the author, and there is a one page foreword in French.

Copies were printed in Thailand to be distributed in Belgium, where Tintin in Thailand was thought to have been in circulation since December 1999. Thousands of copies in both French and English were also distributed in Thailand. The quality of the Thai copies was later found to supersede that of the Belgian copies.
