Tintin in the Congo: Version with the rhino kill?

#1 · Posted: 1 Jun 2008 18:39

I came across this one

https://www.amazon.fr/dp/2203012005/ref=nosim?tag=editionscaste-21

I was wondering if anyone knows positively if this edition has the original page 56 with blowing up the rhino, or the watered down redrawn version as released in the UK?

Thanks.

hi pharaoh

In Finnish edition Tintin made the poor rhino vanish on page 58. As a hunter I suggest a rifle especially if you want to get a trophy (like Tintin did). Now there wasn't much left for a trophy, a horn and a strip of smoking skin. They don't look very cool on the livingroom wall.

LOL!

I'm a hunter too. I do use my trusty 7mm Mauser thought, not dynamite. :)

The good old Mauser makes my heart sing, I love you pharaoh! But in SAKO I trust (as a Finn), I've got .308trg (old moosebiathlon) and .22 p72 (biathlon). Nowadays Beretta owns SAKO and they've ruined the quality. Whoops ... now I am off the topic.
