Historical Album, like the previous. But if The Shooting Star, tenth album of Tintin and published in 1942, is historic, it is because it is the first out directly in color. It will be slightly redone (Hergé change the name of the 'villain', which in Blumenstein, name sounding too Jewish for some, will increase to Bohlwinkel also Jewish sounding name, it must be admitted - not to mention his physical and caricature its financial business ...), but no black and white album version exists (except in the Belgian daily Le Soir, where he was prepublished in b & w). The album is one of three (with Tintin In America and The Treasury De Rackham Le Rouge) to have been adapted in the animated television series, episode 20 minutes instead of 40 minutes. The reason? It is not happening much. But that does not stop me from worshiping this volume!
So, despite the anti-Semitic cartoons (Bohlwinkel, Calys the frappadingue prophet and discussing both Jews and laughing about the end of the world, they were removed from the album but are found in the version published in Le Soir) and the fact that it does not happen much, I love L'Etoile Mysterious. The beginning and end are frankly spectacular, and the album, although minor, is a great time playing. Captain Haddock becomes a recurring appearing for the second consecutive time (but it will appear all the time, now) in the album. In short, not the best, but frankly, I love it!
