I don't know if they have ever been published in english, but the first 10 or so Tintin adventures were originally published in black and white. In the late 40's early 50's when the stories were now published in the Tintin magazine and studio Hergé was founded the books were now made in the colour. Every black and white stories (except for Land of the Soviets) were then remade in Hergé's more polished style and small changes were made by Hergé to stories like Congo to make them a bit more politically correct. For example, in the original Congo story, Tintin's class to the kids in the mission is a History course about their "fatherland Belgium". The colour edition change this to a mathematics lesson. Hergé was deeply ashamed by his inacurate and paternalistic early books. It wasn't until the fifth book (The Blue Lotus)that he started to actively research the countries he would sent Tintin, instead of simply listening to his boss and mentor, the priest Norbert Wallez. Wallez was an ultraconservative fascist who was acquainted with Mussolini and collaborated with the Nazis during the Belgian occupation. He wanted Tintin's adventure to be right wing propaganda.
@@JulesBurt Hergé was a great artist and writer. They are many informative documentaries about his life's works. Right here on youtube there's The Birth of Tintin.
For sure. It's been so long since I read these, I'm approaching them with an open mind. It's good to have a little back story of Herge for when they were published and I'll touch in this throughout. I'm sort of researching as I go.
@@JulesBurt I very much enjoyed your Astérix video and I am happy to see you continue to explore the world of franco-belgian comics the same way you do all those amazing paperbacks editions.
Around 1974, give or take a year, Tintin's adventures ran in the American publication Children's Digest, which is where I read them. I'm slowly obtaining the hardbacks. Thanks for the video!
The first book I ever bought (or was given) prior to school was "The Black Island". I remember lovingly studying the pictures and then eventually reading it. I still have it! It has my name written in it that I did with a shaky hand when I was 6. What great memories.
I have such a soft spot for these books, as dated as they are. I'm Canadian and I went to an all-French school in the early 90's until 2001 and we had the entire series in French in the school's library. I read them over and over. 15 years later I was working at Nelvana who made the 90's animated adaptation and a co-worker who had worked on it gave me a couple of pieces of production art.
That's super cool! I first read these at school myself, don't think I read them all though, so looking forward to discovering a few new gems. Those cells sound excellent 🙂👍
Thank you . I empathize with you in the intro , some of the stuff is not politically correct...and the art work depecting the natives.....my gosh. Never the less.. from what i have seen on your channel..i can say " the views in this comic are Not those of the reviewer " and this reader..I find many of my childhood writers are now under ' attack ' from Lofting to Blyton and even Twin.Yet i say...true or false...dont hide those books away. Thanks again Sir. What is interesting is how as the stories grows not only is the art work..but the views . This we will see in the later books...i can hardly await . Ps on a side note Mr H was not the only artist to depict... some people in that way. This was a fine vid.Thanks again a third time..
Im 51 and i love these comics, i would get one out at the school library in 1980 .When i had to take it back, i would book it out for another week.Mostly for the art work. Asterix was the other one i loved Thanks for the link jules i will check them out..great review will...n.z p.s loved the Asterix review part one too
Very good analysis of Tintin's first three books. You show what's interesting and beautiful in these books and I think that makes people who don't know Tintin want to read them. On the other hand you could have perhaps said that the first versions of Tintin in The Congo and Tintin in America were in black and white and that they are quite different from the color versions. But to introduce Tintin, your video is excellent. 👏
Would you be interested in making another video like this about Tintin? I really enjoyed these two videos you did about them as they are very informative :)
Thanks so much for this Jules. I've been a big Tintin fan since childhood and own all his adventures in one form or another, and I also own the excellent 90's animation series by Nelvana on DVD. With regards how some of his early adventures are viewed today, I agree that Tintin in the Congo has some distasteful parts, almost comically so, but I maintain that Tintin in the Land of the Soviets is still a pretty damn accurate observation of the sheer hypocrisy and horror that is life in a communist country.
Thanks John, appreciate those comments. I too enjoy those 90's animation films, they were really well done. Soviets is a great story and was accurate for when it was written . Congo, yes, it has its moments but these are soon forgotten as we move through the story. Glad you're enjoying these, the next three books are on the radar.🙂
3:37 I have the same book that you have and right from Egmont, it's the only Tintin book which I have on hardcover. Although I have all the Tintin books but in online.
Does anybody know whether there is a TinTin book with a ship called Casablanca. I vaguely remember as a kid reading the same story over and over again. I'm 99% certain it was a TinTin book, but have looked online without any luck.
I think there was one of the Tintin stage plays that involved Casablanca, maybe "Mr Boullock's Disappearance" from 1941? But I don't know of a ship of that name, unless it was in one of the foreign language translations (not French or English) of the books.
There are 24 comics in the series. But if you exclude 'Tintin and Alph-Art' which is unfinished, it will be 23 books and if you include 'Tintin and Alph-Art', along with 'Tintin and the Lake of Sharks', it will be 25 books.

Fantastic information, thanks so much. Really looking forward to the later stories in the series which are, as you say, far more accurate.👍

Excellent, thanks, it'll be Asterix books 4 to 6 next👍

My pleasure, these hardback editions are really great, certainly a superb way to read them today
I've never read Tintin but I enjoyed the film. Very comfy artwork.
For sure, that are great adventures, the later ones are truly excellent, looking forward to getting to those 🙂👍
Do you mean Spielberg's film?
@@namitasarkar3501 yep :)
The first book I ever bought (or was given) prior to school was "The Black Island". I remember lovingly studying the pictures and then eventually reading it. I still have it! It has my name written in it that I did with a shaky hand when I was 6. What great memories.
Ah yes, definitely looking forward to that one! Amazing you still have your original copy!👍

I had a few Tintin annuals back in the 80’s. At least I think they were annuals. Looking forward to seeing some more Tintin!
They were probably editions just like these! I'll do books 4 to 6 in a month or so, next is Asterix 4 to 6🙂

Thanks Sylvan, they are very much if their time, 90 years ago, things have most definitely changed.
I certainly don't want to offend anyone🙂
@@JulesBurt Not s chance of any offence my friend.
Great🙂👍
Cool 😎
Thanks!🙂👍

Thanks Will, we're the same age! Going to film Asterix part 2 next week🙂👍 I remember borrowing/reading these from my library as well.
@@JulesBurt Gee you 21 years old too! LOL Cool look forward to part two of Asterix, Yep the library holds some great memories....will...n.z

Thanks. This was my first attempt at something like this. These videos take a long time to produce and I guess it was just an oversight.
Would you be interested in making another video like this about Tintin? I really enjoyed these two videos you did about them as they are very informative :)
Thanks Cedric, I'll certainly look to have another released soon. They take quite a bit of work, as you can imagine👍
Dear Jules, I'd love it if you continued these videos and also the Asterix ones. These were my favourites as a child.
I have almost finished writing the next TinTin video which will be filmed next week🙂👍
@@JulesBurt fantastic, thanks!
👍

Right. The hardback editions are excellent.
In fact, I don't have enough money so I searched and found Tintin comics online.
👍
Anymore Tintin vids in the pipeline? The next 3 titles are where the series really takes off IMO.
They are in the house Mat, going to cover them all eventually 🙂👍 Video soon
Hey i have not seen Mr Roger Smith..Hey my friend..things ok ?
You best him to it!😉
Is that Bossk I see on your shelf? :)
Yep, it was there after I filmed my valuation video with John at @actionfiguregrader 🙂👍
@@JulesBurt I havent watched that one yet. Will do soon :)
It is a classic and has proved incredibly popular👍

Not sure, Tintins history is complex.
Are these EGMONT books published in China?
I would have to check but I don't believe so.
Are tgere 23 or 24 books in the series?
There are 24 in this series.
There are 24 comics in the series. But if you exclude 'Tintin and Alph-Art' which is unfinished, it will be 23 books and if you include 'Tintin and Alph-Art', along with 'Tintin and the Lake of Sharks', it will be 25 books.
I'm going to cover them all eventually.
