Tintin: Little Book of Peril

The second item I purchased at the Herge and Tintin exhibition at the Shanghai Power Station of Art. More of an art book than an actual comic.

Title: Tintin: Little Book of Peril
Date: 2016
Publisher: Moulinsart. (Official Tintin site is here)
Writer:Herge
Artist: Herge

Cute collection of "perilous" Tintin panels taken from the various Tintin comics. Each scene includes a brief comment from Snowy.

Some of these work better than others, but all in all it does a nice job of capturing the sense of nostalgic fun that it's going for.

There really isn't much to this, but it's meant to be a pocket-sized curiosity, which it accomplishes well enough. A bit more text would have been nice, and, as always with these tiny art books, the art suffers a bit from the small size of the reproduction.

Rating: 6/10
