Filled in a gap in my Tintin collection the other day.

And I'm sorry, but when I got to page 22, a bit of crossover tweakery was kind of inevitable...

Alph-Art PDF?

2009-01-10T20:39:20Z

Hi!
I was wondering if anyone has a copy of a PDF of Tintin and Alph-Art?
I found one, but it turned out to be the 'tribute' version by Yves Rodier.
I'd buy it, but it's not available where I live and I'd rather not order over the internet.
Thanks!

The movie: book(s) selected at last...?

2008-09-01T12:40:24Z

Well... according to this article and another English article I happened upon, it seems that the books chosen for the first of the Tintin movie trilogy are the The Secret of the Unicorn/Red Rackham's Treasure duology. However, a couple French articles seem to be mentioning Crab With the Golden Claws...

So, once again, it's not confirmed as to exactly which book(s) the first movie will be based on, but I think it's safe to assume the choices can be narrowed down to these ones. ^^ ~~And, either way, it's good news for Haddock fans, since he has principle roles in these books.~~

Thoughts?

Tintin and the Hidden branch, Chapter 1

The morning was jubilant and sunny and the cobblestones glittered beneath Tintin's feet as he trotted across the street to the farmer's market. Snowy followed and chided, "And what's this big hurry about?!"
Tintin only grinned. "You'll see! I hope there's still some left!" They skidded to a stop in front of a cart and Tintin let out a delighted laugh. "Oh, they're here!" He gleefully lifted Snowy to look.
"Strawberries?! You ran like a cat with its tail on fire for THIS?!"
"I'll take a pound and a half of the biggest ones you have! Please."
The merchant smiled beneath his mustache. "Big fan of strawberries, son?"
"Oh, yes! They're hardly even in season! I got up early just to buy some." He set Snowy down and fiddled with his wallet. The dog huffed.
"At least you're pampering yourself for a change."
"Even I get to enjoy life's little pleasures, Snowy."

As the boy kicked up his feet at home, he eagerly yanked open the bag, his nose twitching at the abundant scent of the berries. He picked one out and studied it a moment, batting his eyelashes.
"They look sooooo good."
Snowy curled up next to her master, unimpressed. "Gimme a big fat bone any day. Fruit's not my thing."
"None for you? Oh well! More for me!" His teeth sank into the ripe flesh and sweet, tangy nectar washed over his tongue as his eyes closed dreamily. He sucked the bitten off piece from the rest of the berry and licked his lips as they drew into a satisfyed smile while he chewed.
"Mmmpherfeck."
Three or four strawberries later, there came a knock at the door. He peered at the peephole on tiptoe, seeing two suavely suite men with slicked-down black hair.
"Hm. Visitors." He opened the door and asked pleasantly, "Hello?"
"You are Tintin, correct?" Said the slightly taller man, stonefaced. He had a thick, elegant accent Tintin couldn't quite place but knew he had heard before.
"I am. How may I help you gentlemen?"
"We are here on behalf of the nation on Syldavia," began the other man, opening a wallet with a very grand and fancy badge gleaming beneath the hallway's light, "and have been ordered to accompany you to the palace at your earliest convenience."
Tintin and Snowy blinked at eachother and he backed away from the door, motioning for the two to enter. "Is something wrong? Please, come in."
"Yes and no." Said the first man as they seated themselves on Tintin's sofa, the boy and his dog sitting on the nearby chair, "You see, his Imperial Highness requests an audience with you, and it is a matter of international importance."
"Oh!" Tintin gasped softly, concern growing within him. "Is His Majesty alright?"
"He is in no danger, sir. However, he would not divulge the matter. He said only that is was a matter of dire secrecy."
"Hm. Summoned by the king of Syldavia. it sounds terribly exciting." Snowy could see Tintin's inner ten-year-old boy getting curious. "I can leave tomorrow morning."
"Excellent. We were told that time was of the essence." The taller man stated as he handed the boy a business card with sophisticated-looking gold scrollwork and an address, as well as the royal seal of Syldavia. "Come to this address when you are ready. Everything is prepared and you will travel in the palace's personal jetliner."
The two stood to leave and handshakes were exchanged. "Thank you for your time." said the shorter man. as the door closed. The two got into a sleek black sedan waiting by the building's entrance and the shorter man scratched his head. "It was very difficult not bowing to him, Arnold."
"Luckily you held back. otherwise he would have gotten too excited and things would get messy. Trust me, it's best His Highness not find out until he's there."
"Of course... but I could see it in his eyes! He has... their eyes."
"I saw it too, Ilya. He will know soon enough and everything will come to fruition."
"It will be a very exciting time, indeed."

"Well, time to do laundry..." said Tintin, closing his bag of strawberries and putting it in the fridge, "I have a feeling I'll need more than a few clean shirts."
Snowy yapped and her tail wagged a mile a minute. "Finally some real excitement!"

Aparently this little chappy has been cast as Tintin. Ok so I only read this on the 'Don't Let Dreamworks Ruin Tintin' facebook group (they got it from comingsoon.net) but I'm pretty happy with this casting. I think give him a few years and he'll make a fabulous tintin! What do you guys think?

A question to my fellow Tintinologists. :D

2008-03-03T11:40:36Z

I'm making Ottokar's Scepter for my Tintin costume and I have a question. The pelican statue on top: Should I stick to Herge's simple, cartoony style, or should I try to sneak a little more realism in (detail on feathers, details on the crown he's wearing)? Which do you all suggest? :D I'm leaning toward the latter because, while I want to be as faithful to the design as I can, Herge was doing a simple drawing of the basic idea of thew staff, I think such a detail-oriented kingship (Muskar's fancy clothes, ya.) would have a more detailed and ornate scepter. So anyway. Thoughts! Comments! Questions! Your advices, tell me them.

HI there long time reader of this place first time poster.

I've a question about the Round Backpack found at the TinTin shop in Covent Gardens. Has anyone brought it? If so was it worth the money and what it actually like? The reason I'm asking is because they don't have a photo of it and I don't live near enough to pop in for a look so can anyone help me?
