Congo Tintin?
Congo is a country located in Central Africa, and Tintin is a popular Belgian comic book character created by Hergé. One of Tintin's adventures is titled "Tintin in the Congo" (original French: "Tintin au Congo"), which was first published as a serialized comic strip in 1930-1931 and later released as a full-color album in 1931.
"Tintin in the Congo" follows the adventures of Tintin, a young reporter, and his dog Snowy, as they travel to the Belgian Congo (now the Democratic Republic of Congo). The story depicts Tintin's encounters with wildlife, tribal communities, and various challenges in the African jungle.
It's worth noting that "Tintin in the Congo" has been a subject of controversy due to its portrayal of Africans and colonial attitudes. The comic reflects the stereotypes and perspectives prevalent at the time of its creation, but it has faced criticism for its racist depictions and insensitive portrayal of African characters. As a result, it has been subject to bans and restrictions in certain countries and has been debated extensively in the context of colonialism and racism.
It's important to approach "Tintin in the Congo" with an understanding of its historical context and the criticisms it has received.
Interesting video here discussing the history behind the creator and his (potential) links to the Nazi party
"In contrast to Hergé's involvement in Belgium's right-wing, Sterckx thought the cartoonist to have been "a liberal and independent spirit",[262] someone who was "the very opposite of a conservative [or] a reactionary of the right".[245] Michael Farr asserted that Hergé had "an acute political conscience" during his earlier days, as exemplified by his condemnation of racism in the United States evident in Tintin in America.[268] Literary critic Tom McCarthy went further, remarking that Tintin in America represented the emergence of a "left-wing counter tendency" in Hergé's work that rebelled against his right-wing milieu and which was particularly critical of wealthy capitalists and industrialists.[269] This was furthered in The Blue Lotus, in which Hergé rejected his "classically right-wing" ideas to embrace an anti-imperialist stance,[270] and in a contemporary Quick & Flupke strip in which he lampooned the far-right leaders of Germany and Italy, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.[271] Although many of his friends and colleagues did so in the mid-1930s, Hergé did not join the far-right Rexist Party, later asserting that he "had always had an aversion to it" and commenting that "to throw my heart and soul into an ideology is the opposite of who I am."[272]"

Kind of relevant, but Coco Chanel also slept with Nazis.
@Munki: Is that a crime? Even the most ardent Nazi haters will agree that with the sentiment of (profanity) all Nazis.

So it doesn’t come with the Congo one? (I don’t see it on the list)
But they say it’s all issues.Thanks.
Stop. Eating. My. Sesame. Cake.
Edit: whoops wrong Congo…
STOP EATING MY SESAme KEK
I don't care I would read the books still. Sick of woke bs taking over classics
The irony is that the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2001 issued commemorative stamps to celebrate the publishing of the original comic book after the publishers removed the edition from the series

I was kinda hoping those images would be… larger than postage stamp size.
Lets see if Amazon price matches
Still annoyed I missed it for $99 or whatever the low price was last year
Product Dimensions L 30.6 x W 22.6 x D 14.7 cm
It seems like these are the full size versions, so this is a good price. Beware that some collections on Amazon and the like are only pocket-size versions of the books.
I thought one used to come up all the time for$90. Would that have been the pocket version
Product Dimensions Product: W 231 x H 140 x D 160 mm
Yes, those are the small ones.
I can't wait for AI to give us 100 issue anthology of this.
i am a simple man, i see tintin, i upvote
Is there version 3 coming soon?
TinTinTin?
yes
Looks like they are the full sized ones L 30.6 x W 22.6cm
If this is an in store deal too, it would be $10 (delivery cost) cheaper if you buy it from the store.
not in store. checked today and it came up to $150. They said prices online are independent from in-store.
Wasn't it for $199 a year back?
Blistering Barnacles!
Get in quick before this series is erased entirely because someone's feelings got hurt
A classic for me!
I am boycotting Tintin until it is redrawn and rewritten for modern sensibilities.
You voted for Dan Andrews?
quick buy them before this happens
Are these paperback or hardback?
Got mine yesterday they are paperback
Should have come in a tin.
