TINTIN BLACK ISLAND Paperback – Picture Book, 30 April 1975

It's funny with snowy

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.

I liked the story very much. I loved the illustrations. I hope the other books are as good as this!

Best for kids

It's a full sized Tintin book, and not a small sized print like the 3-in-1 books. High quality pages. Wonderful read as always with Tintin series. Story is simple enough for even 10y + kids to fully understand.

I'm a Tintinologist and when I got this book I was surprised because it reached me before time and the packaging was great . Then when I read this book I think this is one of the most adventurous books of The Adventures of Tintin . I prefer everyone (Especially Tintinologists ) To buy this book and enjoy it.

Childhood re-visited...Tintin is simply the best...i have collected all Egmont editions of Tin tin in paperback. I understand that hardbacks last long but frankly in my care paperback also last very long moreover i dont get the feeling of a comic book if it is bounded in hardback. For me comic books are best read and cherished as paperback.

Very enjoyable for kids
