BTW who owns the coyright to The Golden Fleece and Blue Oranges - is it Methuen or Casterman?
Casterman own the publishing rights and would probably have a contract with Methuen over the percentage of royalties and the rights to the English text.
Whether the rights to the film books have now reverted to Casterman, or are owned by Egmont, I don't know.

And were the works ever published in USA? Little, Brown now publishes the common Tintin works in us, while Last Gasp published Soviets and Congo.
Little Brown didn't begin to publish the books til (I think) 1974, so they would have missed out cashing in on those films which were released and shown in the 60s and probably wouldn't have thought them worthy of release some 10 years or more after - unless someone knows otherwise?
