Summary: Brings Back Memories
Review: A random search on 'Tintin' on Amazon.com brought back powerful memories of my happy youth, when my brother and I would save up our pocket money every month to buy used copies from local booksellers in the musty streets of Delhi. The books would be marked with pen and sundry stains, but, to us, they were a reminder of what lay just beyond our reach.We would be fascinated by Tintin's travels through the most exotic places in the world (and beyond!). What colorful characters Haddock and Calculus are! For some reason, King Ottokar's Sceptre was always my favorite one, but almost all comics in this series are classics. I would especially urge any one with young children to buy every Tintin comic book in existence, but, really, these comics will please all age groups.

Summary: Three Different Continents - Early Tintin Adventures
Review: All three adventures in this collection - Tintin in America, Cigars of the Pharoah, and The Blue Lotus - are of an early vintage, with neither the Thomson twins, nor Captn Haddock or Calculus having made their appearances... Nonetheless these are all excellent reads. In Tintin in America our reporter friend goes to the USofA to rid the city of Chicago of the menace of Al Capone, and succeeds, but not before being captured by native Americans, surviving an attempted lynching, surviving being tied and laid on raliway tracks, and being thrown in a river with huge dumbbells tied to his feet... You get the picture - never a dull moment. The Blue Lotus is a favourite of mine, probably because I laid hands on this one after I had read every other Tintin, and had been wanting to read this one for a long, long time. And it does not disappoint. With a liberal dose of history thrown in, with some politically correct pointers in international relations thrown in for good effect. This and Tintin in Tibet are connected, though you can read one without having to read the other. All in all - worth every penny (or cent or paisa....) As they say in India - paisa vasool, or the return on investment is awesome!

Summary: Another Tintin adventure series!
Review: Being a long time fan of Tintin the 3-book volume was appealing, for economic reasons, and the size has not been reduced drastically enough to make it unattractive. But 'Tintin in America' was a disappointment. Compared to all the other Tintin's this is probably the most pathetic one (very very cliched, boring story with too many unbelievable, even for Tintin comics, twists), while Cigar's of Pharoh and Blue Lotus are on par with the others.

Summary: Herge's a master!
Review: Herge never ceased to amaze me, as a kid and even now. I'm 18 and the Tintin books are as exciting to me now as they were when I was eight. This volume is no exception. it features the last three Tintin books in the series, "The Castafiore Emerald", "Flight 714", and "Tintin and the picaros". In "Castafiore", the famous opera singer Bianca Castafiore decides to drop in unexpectedly for a while at Captain haddock's Marlinspike Hall, much to the captain's displeasure. This is not the usual Tintin crime solving comic, yet it is extremely funny. "Flight 714" is full of action as Tintin and co. are hi-jacked on a flight to Sydney. "Tintin and the Picaros" (1976)is Herge's last completed Tintin book, where Tintin and friends head to the south American republic of San Theodoros to help Castafiore and the Thompsons, who was arrested after being accused of plotting against the government, but in the mix-up get involved with guerillas aiming to overthrow the government. This is one of my favorite Tintin books as there are some major changes in the characters. Tintin finally hangs up his dated golf trousers in favor of bellbottoms and also carries the CND sign on his helmet (real hippy style). This book is also great as it brings back many familiar faces in the Tintin series....a truly great finale to one of the greatest ....if not THE greatest comic series ever.

Review: I gave this book along with vol. 2 to my nephews at 5th grade and 1st grade and they can't put them down after the 1st page. So I decide to buy the whole collection for them. (...);-P Great gifts for kids at the age to open their mind and explore the world!

Summary: Tintin and Snowy rock!
Review: I love Tintin books and this one is no exception. I like the size of the book, the hardcover has a good binding so that it doesn't come apart and with three adventures in one you are getting a great deal.

Summary: A must-read for Tintin's fans!!!!!!
Review: My brother and I are MAGOR Tintin fans, and have both read all the books. These three tales are my alltime faves. I like the part in the Land of Black Gold when Thompson with a P as in "psychology" falls asleep and drives the Jeep into the Arabien city! The moon adventures are just awesome. Great, exciting book.

Summary: Fascinating Stories!
Review: The Tintin books are fascinating in their simple and easy to understand details and plot. I'm thirteen years old, and I must say that these books are some of my favorites to read when I'm tired. They are mysteries, but fun to read over and over. My favorite so far is probably "Tintin and the Broken Ear," "The Black Island," or "Explorers on the Moon." These are books for all ages of people, and I disagree with a review stating that the print was hard to read, I started reading these books when I was eight or nine, and I never found the print difficult, though that is my own personal experience. These books are a treasure!

Summary: Magnificent!
Review: This is a wonderful book that is perfect for any age. I've been reading Tintin since I was about 4 and right now, I'm 12. You may think of Tintin as just a regular kid's book, but trust me, these books are perfect for even adults (like my father, who is 48). It's full of mystery, comedy, and just regular old fun! All of his books have something interesting to talk about. The pictures are very clear and accurate, especially when it comes to portraying actual places.If you are looking at this book, BUY IT NOW!("Cigars of the Pharaoh" is a great book).

Summary: Tin Tin- comic extrodinaire'
Review: Tin-Tin is comicbook creation the way it should be!
Tin-Tin is NOT political correctness, it depicks human beings, events as they are, whether evil or good.
You'll be surprised comparing of todays wishy-washy P.C. comics to Tin-Tin..
It has morals, values, perhaps a bit over the top sometimes since black & white issues were more defined years ago..
The artwork is extremely good, even when some panels only have 1 sentance. Tin-Tin will take you to another time & place.
Before there was Indiana Jones, there was Tin-Tin!
