A Conversation for Herge's Adventures of Tintin
Buying the rarer books

Maybe I sound like a geek, but I have (almost) the complete collection of Tintin albums, and the complete collection of Asterix albums, from when I was a child!
I've only recently heard about Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, Tintin in the Congo, and Tintin and the Alpha-Art. Anyone know where I can find these in English (preferably not at too great a cost!)? I found Land of the Soviets in French in an obscure record shop in the back streets of Brussels, but it wasn't for sale 
I'm personally a bigger fan of Asterix, but I'd like to complete my Tintin collection

Hi Peregrin,
Sorry, meant to reply to you earlier, but forgot!
There's a link in the entry to the official website, which has a shop. And I think there's also a specialist place in Covent Garden in London. I've deleted all my research links, but it's definitely got a website. Let me know if you can't find it, and I'll try and track it down for you.
Best wishes
Otto

Hi Dave,
Sorry, I thought that was a rhetorical question...
Apparently there were two live-action film versions made in the 1950s, which were both rubbish.....

Doesn't Lake of the Sharks or whatever it was called count as a film? I've got the book but never seen it, it's an animation. I don't think it was written by Herge though.

The story's quite good, a bit different from the others (obviously as it isn't written by Herge) and the artwork is completely different, as it has traditional animation painted backdrops. Worth purchasing to complete a collection, but I'd recommend the regular albums as better reads.

dave's a man of few words, isnt he?
I used to have mostly a complete collection when i was a kid, tho i think they're quite well read (read - in tatters). I'm interested in having a 'complete' collection as well. Have you checked ebay?

All the books are available in Kolkata (India) now, with Ananda Publishers Pvt. Ltd., including Soviet and Congo. However they're in Bengali.
