Land of the Soviets * (have still not read this one yet)
Tintin in the Congo 5 (charmingly dated, plus all the obvious colonial stuff)
Tintin in America 7 (also charmingly dated, but good fun)
Cigars of the Pharaoh 8 (always been one of my favourites)
Blue Lotus 10 (Hergé's first tour de force)
Broken Ear 5 (it has it's moments)
Black Island 6 (pretty good)
King Ottokar's Sceptre 7 (not my favourite, but a very good thriller)
Crab with the Golden Claws 8 (love the title, and the book is great)
Shooting Star 4 (too weird for me)
Secret of The Unicorn 9
Red Rackham's Treasure 9 (have to give these high marks - classic Tintin)
Seven Crystal Balls 10
Prisoners of the Sun 10 (these two have always been my favourites - dark, thrilling)
Land of Black Gold 7 (would love to see the 1956 version)
Destination Moon 4
Explorers on the Moon 4 (I have never embraced these as most Tintin fans seem to)
Calculus Affair 10
(another tour de force)
Red Sea Sharks 8 (quite excellent)
Tintin in Tibet 10 (what can you say? Along with Calculus Affair, Hergé's masterpiece)
The Castafiore Emerald 9 (one of the best)
Flight 714 8 (also one of the best - wonderfully bizarre)
Tintin and the Picaros 5 (half baked)
Tintin and Alph-Art 5 (well of course very hard to rate since it was never finished, but the basic plot is pretty cool)
Tintin and the Lake of Sharks 2 (not written by Hergé, kind of fun but ultimately lame)
