A worthy winner I think!

My top 5 favourites:

1) Tintin and the Picaros (5 points)
2) Flight 714 (4 points)
3) Explorers on the Moon (3 points)
4) Land of Black Gold (2 points)
5) The Red Sea Sharks (1 point)

Just for fun, I will make it a top ten list and add another five (but without giving points)

6) The Calculus Affair
7) Red Rackam's Treasure
8) The Blue Lotus
9) Tintin in Tibet
10) The Castafiore Emerald

Note: By talking about favourites, I am listing those that I enjoy the most and have read more times than the others. If the thread is about those that I regard as the five very best, then my list should be somewhat different.

1. Tintin and the Picaros
2. The Secret of the Unicorn, tie with Red Rackham's Treasure
3. Destination Moon, double with the Explorers on the Moon
4. King Ottokar's Sceptre
5. Crab With the Golden Claws

Aha! This is easier to understand than some of the other threads I've run across relating to fav. book. So then.

1st The Calculus Affair (5pts)
2nd Tintin in Tibet (4pts)
3rd The Crab with the Golden Claws (3pts)
4th The Black Island (2pts)
5th The Land of Black Gold (1pt)

Wonder how this'll turn out?

1. Cigars of the Pharaoh
2. The Blue Lotus
3. Tintin in America
4. The Calculus Affair
5. Crab with the Golden Claws

My favourite five:

1. Cigars of the Pharaoh
