    This looks like a great set for kids. Brings back a lot of memories growing up with them.

      Cancelled by the WOKE mob sadly. Literature history shouldn't be deemed inappropriate because it may cause offence to a very small minority, it should exist and be judged on the society standards of when it was written as well as used as a learning experience to grow from.

          Have you asked all of them if they're offended by it?

        • Homerlovesbeer on 07/11/2022 - 08:52

          And probably nearly a Billion that haven't even heard of the book let alone be bothered to be offended.

        Only virtue signaling white people got offended.

      • fraxinus on 07/11/2022 - 10:17

        As a pedant, I am offended by this claim: ‘For the first time, you can own all 23 stories in The Adventures of Tintin series in this fantastic boxed set.’ The ‘all’ is misleading and deceptive if the total number of stories in the series was in fact 24.

        This should be clarified to something like ‘all currently available 23 stories’, otherwise it’s a rewriting of the historical record just to suit changed societal norms.

        What (profanity) nonsense. It's not banned and never has been. It wasn't published English until 1991 and has been available ever since. The false narrative that it's been cancelled is either willful ignorance or "anti-woke" propaganda. People are just searching for something to be outraged about.

          There have been at least 2 attempts to ban Tintin in the Congo:
          1. The UK in 2007 - racial equality commissioner tried to get it banned but instead managed to have it moved to the adult section of bookstores rather then the children section. (https://bookstr.com/article/should-tintin-in-the-congo-be-so…)
          2. France & Belgium in 2007 - 2011 numerous attempts by Bienvenu Mbutu Mondondo and the Belgian Council of Black Associations. Ultimately the ban was rejected by the Belgium appeals court.
          The judges said it reflected the colonial attitudes of its time and there was no evidence that Herge — who died in 1983 aged 75 — had held racist views.
          (https://amp.france24.com/en/20121206-tintin-congo-not-racist…)

          So there you go. Either way you’ll always be able to get a copy, just not in a set that is aimed for children. I quite like the story because it show both the positives and negatives of colonialism. Recommend following up with a bed time reading of Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

    Also found this on Amazon
    https://www.amazon.com.au/Adventures-Tintin-1-8-Herge/dp/031…

    Any opinions on which is the better one to get. Hard cover set is cheaper but not individual books like the paperback version

    • trongy on 07/11/2022 - 10:42

      The reviews point out that the red boxed set is not full sized. Judging by the box size it's about 75% linear or 56% of page area. That's a deal breaker for me because it ruins the experience.

  • dealer453 on 07/11/2022 - 09:50

      From a different (3rd party) supplier. Amazon AU deal at $159.95 appears OOS (at least temporarily: ‘Usually dispatched within 1 to 4 weeks’) but can still add to cart.

    Answering my own question. Just saw one of the hardcover reviews that the print in too small. Looking at dimensions, the paperbacks are bigger:

    16.64 x 13.46 x 24.89 cm Hardcover

    8 x 22.5 x 33.5 cm paperback

    What age group of child is this good for?

    • duchy on 07/11/2022 - 11:54

      I'd say 6 years old. Our son is 7 and we've been reading Tintin for a year. They get more of the jokes as they get older.

    • truetypezk on 07/11/2022 - 12:41

      As long as they can read? I have read it to a 6 and a 4 year old at the same time, the 4 year old also appear to enjoy it. Most of Haddock's curse words dont make sense to them though, which might be a good thing:)

    • truetypezk on 07/11/2022 - 12:43

      There is also an animated series which might get young kids interest up first if they dont like/are new to comic books.

    Rarely comment here, but wanted to add some thoughts to the Tintin In The Congo commentary aired above.

    One of the wonderful things about Herge, possibly one of the reasons why we’re still discussing and treasuring his stories today, is that he didn’t dismiss criticism of his work as ‘woke virtue-signalling’ or as attempts to ‘cancel’ him. Instead he listened and made efforts to educate himself and improve his work. By all accounts, Herge was never intentionally racist but his work often reflected the views of his time, the limited information he had available and the biases of his publisher. As adults most of us are able to understand that Tintin In The Congo reflects outdated, poorly-informed views that can be harmful or upsetting to certain groups, and we can read the book in that context. However, as children we tend to view what we read as an authoritative view of the world. For this reason it’s entirely appropriate that it not be arbitrarily included alongside the rest of the Tintin stories.

      The correct answer.

  • BadBreath on 07/11/2022 - 18:54

    are these the full sized ones or miniture - miniture sux
    18 x 22.5 x 33.5 cm

  • teddiebear on 15/11/2022 - 00:48

    Just let books be books. Tin Tin is great reading for all ages. There's far worse content out there in books considered to be 'classics' filled with borderline pornographic nature, voilence, incest, racism, hate-crimes, list can go on. Watch a childrens cartoon these days and there's more adult content shoved in to amuse the parents braving it by taking kids to see finding nemo or whatever at the movies. People simply have to get off their high horse and go find a rainbow sheep!
