An overview of the world famous comic character and of his adventures through the 23 titles of the complete oeuvre, the Complete Companion contextualizes Herge's work replaces it in its historical period by showing side by side by side the drawings and the references used by the artist to establish believable backgrounds and realistic details.

This is a great companion piece to the Tintin stories. Each Tintin book is covered, with archival photos and commentary providing rich background info on what went into the making of the stories.My only nitpick is that the author occasionally injects his personal preferences regarding the books. For instance, he considers "Flight 714" to be weak due to its extraterrestrial themes, whereas in the Tibet adventure he has no problem with the presence of the Yeti (he mentioned something about his dadThis was a really great book. I really want to go out and buy it now. It taught me a lot about the original Tintin comics and character. It also gave detailed background to the artist and creator Herge (accent on e). I really loved it and would recommend it as a must read for any fan of Tintin. In fact I would recommend you to read each comic and then rewatch the tv episode and reread the comic book.
This is obviously a top read for Tintin enthusiasts! No one who likes Tintin is going to tell you otherwise! Michael Farr provides a detailed account of how each Tintin book came into being, and each chapter is dedicated to a particular title. Readers will love the numerous photos from Herge's extensive archive, which served as the real-life inspiration for many of his drawings. Ever wanted to know what the Thompson Twins might've looked like in real life? ... Well look no further! The only real
Oh, I love Tintin! I first read him in college of all places, and now I love to read it my little people. They love looking at the great illustrations. I'm sad that Spielberg is getting his hands on the great Tintin. I just can't imagine a live action blockbuster movie made out of this wonderful character. And, I'm sure Hollywood will mine it for all it's worth. There are so many stories here that they'll be churning it out for years to come. Boo hoo.
Tintin: The Complete Companion has, pleasingly, the same cover dimensions as a Tintin book, though it's a little thicker than the standard 62 pages. Although I could have done with less subjectivity from the author (irrelevant anecdotes; personal opinions on adventures that I happen to like thank you very much), he knows his stuff and it was fascinating to find out about all the Brussels-dialect jokes in the original, and the changes that took place in the pictures and text from one edition to

Mostly awesome book here, the only reason I docked off a star is because of the mini-article on the right side of page 162 titled "The Martyrdom of Tibet". The author, quite lamentably, cited all this "historical" mumbo jumbo that's little more than an international smear campaign that stubbornly refused to die (no thanks to folks who blindly repeat them!). The Tibetian region was once an empire of its own right . . . back in the 7th~9th century (called 吐蕃). She has been
