Editorial Review: Product Description: Celebrate over 100 years of Hergé with a new hardcover boxed set. Join traveling reporter Tintin and his faithful dog Snowy, along with well-known friends such as Captain Haddock, as they embark on extraordinary adventures spanning historical and political events, fantasy and science-fiction adventures and thrilling mysteries. These full-color graphic novels broke new ground when they were first released and became the inspiration for countless modern-day comic artists. This fantastic collection, containing 7 hardcover volumes (each containing 3 classic Tintin stories) and an additional bonus volume, Tintin & Co. by famed Tintinologist Michael Farr, is a great gift for Tintin lovers and first-time fans everywhere. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Love it!- the box set is of very good quality - the illustrations are crisp and the typeface clear, though it is a bit small Rating: - BIllions of blistering blue barnacles and thundering typhoonsIn all my life, nothing interested me in reading more than Tintin did. The intrepid reporter and his sarcastic and loyal dog Snowy's voyages around the world are bound to pique anybody's interest in travel, adventure, local culture, humor and politics.

I was a little worried, having read the reviews about the too small type. But I took the plunge and ripped open the cellophane--the text is FINE! Standard, Manga-sized text, slightly smaller than a western comic print size and actually bigger than a lot of Chris Ware's ACME Novelty Library type. And it's printed very clearly and crisply. If you can read a paperback novel, your eyes should have no trouble with this type. These editions are very easy to read in ... Read More Rating: - The set is a mixed bag, but ultimately disappointingI was going to write a review about the content of the stories - in addition to the presentation of the box set - once I had finished reading and, in most cases, rereading the books but I wanted to share my thoughts with anyone hoping to pick this up. First of all, I'm disappointed that 3 Tintin adventure were left out of this collection: Tintin "in the Congo", "Land of the Soviets" and "Alpha Art." Regardless of their criticisms (which have no basis whatsoever) or whether or not the stories ... Read More Rating: - Poor customer serviceI pre-ordered this gift set in Mid July and waited paitently for it to be released. Then in late Nov I get a notification saying that it is undeliverable (with no explanation for why.) I am extremely disappointed with amazon over this, making me wait 5 months for nothing!
