The original version!

Excellent comic book. This album is the first boards of Tintin published in the eponymous Journal. To recap, the beginning of this adventure was published in black and white in the newspaper "Evening" early 1944. Only two years later, Hergé has the opportunity to complete this adventure by creating its own newspaper. The story begins at almost exactly to where it was (at the time Alcazar crosses Tintin before sailing). However, if one has the balls 7 albums crystal and the temple of the sun, I still recommend the purchase of this item. Indeed, this volume is much more comprehensive than the current book, Hergé was forced to make cuts to get two volumes of 62 pages. Also, this book offers a fun tacile because paper of this album is much nicer than the glossy paper in the current edition. Thus it offers a sensation similar to that had the end of the 40s that readers discovered the adventure of the famous hero to puff.

I hope that the Hergé Foundation will publish other reproductions of the adventures of our heroes (in verion Tintin magazine) because their versions in the Belgian weekly of "Explorers on the Moon" and "The Calculus Affair" deserve publication.

A small negative point: for some boards, I regret that the publisher has not sought versions of best qualities.
