Tintin books in order

There are 24 Tintin books: 23 complete adventures, published 1930–1976, and Tintin and Alph-Art, which Hergé left unfinished when he died in 1983 (published 1986). They’re listed below in the order they first came out.

Where to start: each story stands on its own (a few are two-part adventures), so you don’t need to begin with book 1. Most readers start with The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham’s Treasure, the two-parter in which Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus first come together.
