Representaion In Favor Of Books The Calculus Affair (Tintin #18)

[Before reading]

Random fact time! I just read, in volume 2 of L'Histoire de la Suisse pour les Nuls, that Bertrand Piccard, hero of Solar Impulse, the record-breaking round-the-world solar powered aircraft, isn't just the son of voyage-to-the-bottom-of-the-sea legend Jacques Piccard; he's also the grandson of Auguste Piccard, who turns out to be the model for Hergé's Professeur Tournesol/Professor Calculus. Now that's what I call a dynasty.



More than a passing likeness, wouldn't you say?

[After reading]

I discover that we were nearly visited by Tintin and friends. Perhaps we were out at the time, or they were too busy rescuing le professeur Tournesol from the sinister spy ring who were trying to kidnap him or something. Mille sabords !

Love the made up Eastern European countries . . . by the whiskers of Kurvi Taasch.



The absurdity of the spy thriller22 February 2012 Tintin is one of those series of books that you read one and wonder how Herge is going to be able to top it, and sure enough he comes along with a comic that pretty much tops all of the previous ones that he has written. Unfortunately, as the bar gets raised, it becomes more and more difficult to exceed expectations. This, I believe, is the case with The Calculus Affair. Some have suggested that the Calculus Affair is the beginning of the final

I was genuinely baffled with the mystery in this comic. It seems Herge stuck to the basics of a good story and it worked nicely. It had mystery, action, car chases, some comedy(without offering it with the 2 police brothers or Dr calculus) and the same classic characters we know and like. I thought that the drawing design and panel composition also got better in this volume for example when the crowd of reporters wait outside the captain's mansion and I thought all the vehicles looked more

The Tintin stories for anyone who has read them and understands their history can't be viewed as anything other than groundbreaking. The beginnings of these stories have been around as long as the Lord of the Rings, the illustration and environments in the Tintin books are accurate and extremely detailed. Anyone who has spent even a little time exploring Herge (Georges Remi) can see the painstaking research and adversity he worked through to compose the world around Tintin. His ideas were ahead

I read the Tintin comics as a kid in the 80s/90s, and recently I got the urge to read them again so I googled "Best Tintin comics" and picked "The Calculus Affair" because Professor Cuthbert Calculus was one of my favorite characters.Thoughts:(i) I wish there were more dialogue and character development. Tintin, Haddock and Snowy race from country to country with barely a pause and not enough time to appreciate each scene. I wish I got to see more of the main characters just interacting and

A Tintin adventure in the Cold War era. Despite set in fictional countries, Hergé did brilliantly in capturing the zeitgeist of arms races and espionage.
