A lot of Tony Martin in this one. http://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=4&topic=4887 Wed, 16 May 2012 08:35:16 -0700 http://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=8&topic=580 I think Nunally Lamperouge would be the better choice instead of Elizabeth. The former's more of a brat and irritating. The latter's more matured like Tintin. http://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=8&topic=580 Wed, 16 May 2012 03:21:27 -0700 http://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=7&topic=4884 The Adventures of Tintin on Bush Street Friday, May 18, the Alliance Française de San Francisco (AFSF) is organizing a silent auction of unique collection of Tintin memorabilia and collectibles.

In my recent trip to Paris I saw a book of The Black Island which has three different versions of the drawings from different years (showing the evolution). I regreted not buying it, and now I can’t remember what it’s called because it’s in French. Can anyone help, please? What is the title of the book and where can I buy it from?

He was in a mad rush to sell the items as he was getting married and living over the US, didn't want to carry over the books to save on postage. He almost didn't even want to come down to Sydney as he was quite time poor. He was just going to throw them all out and be done with it. He wasn't even going to post them for me due to the hassle.

It might imply it, but we can’t tell for certain if it does; it’s only necessary for the Professor not to have told Haddock that he was going to this specific conference for the Captain’s statement to be true.

I have for sale on eBay UK a first edition Jo, Zette and Jocko book by Hergé. Published by Methuen in 1987. Please click here to see the book. At time of typing there are 3 days and 17 hours to go until the end of listing. Thanks for looking if you do so. It's a nice book and a good example of Hergé's other work apart from Tintin. http://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=2&topic=4880 Sun, 13 May 2012 18:54:33 -0700 http://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=2&topic=4872 The problem I have with price guides is that they tend to become a speculator’s charter: for example, the minute it became suggested somewhere that the Making of books were somehow rare, prices climbed and stuck in the hundred pound plus bracket, when they were changing hands for somewhere nearer the £30 mark a short time before, which might be thought to be a more realistic figure for books which were in print for a considerable period of time, which had fairly wide distribution, and which c... http://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=2&topic=4872 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:18:13 -0700
