A terrific series both for adults and kids. One for the ages.
Out of all the Tintin books I bought, this is the only one I got in Hardcover edition because I have a lot of memories associated with The Black Island. When I was 8 years old, I got into an accident and fractured my leg. So, after the operation I had to take 3 months holiday from school. One evening during a power cut my mom made me chicken soup, but I wouldn't drink it. She knew books were my weakness and then she pulled this mysterious looking comic called The Black Island from her bag which she had borrowed from her office's library. She later blackmailed me into drinking it if I wanted to read the book, which I of course did. I remember finishing the book in the same night under the light of a candle and then re-reading it many times over the next two weeks and begging mom to bring more books of Tintin. I have never looked back and my love for Herge's Tintin has only exponentially increased since then. A terrific, magical series both for adults and kids. One for the ages.

Don't hesitate on the paperback! It's great quality!
This paperback book is made high quality! I wanted to get hardcover but decided to try the paperback version for a quick gift. I was very impressed by the paperback version and am happy with the purchase. Shipping was quick! I also like that it is a larger sized comic, making it easier to read the words. My son is going to love it for our next long trip! We love Tintin!

It's Tintin in a kilt
Its another one of Hergés Adventures of Tintin. Probably not the best introduction to our boyish Belgian detective (for that I'd say "The Crab with the Golden Claws" or "The Calculus Affair"), but a good read all the same. Recommended.
