Gone are the old Tintin albums tinted colonialism. In Affair Hergé our fate a scathing critique of the cold war and weapons of mass destruction. Tintin goes in search of his friend Sunflower kidnapped by the communist authorities of a wicked mustache marshal of Eastern Europe, behind an iron curtain that is never named.
Probably more effective than a pacifist political speech, this album is a harsh mockery (but appropriate) to the heads of states who play the squabble and think they are the masters of the world. All this, in a spy movie atmosphere ...
Remarkable.
