Tintin and the Red Sea Sharks

 

Am having that image extension not allowed fufu again.... :rolleyes:

 

This above is not really what you meant ....and i did have some of those little comics like "Commando" "Air Ace" ( some of which are pretty shocking in their racism..)etc but Tintin was very influential.

I've got this book and the other one, about first planes & ww1.

 

I'd never heard of it. I saw the pictures and thought they were a fan art rip off at first....that's why I put them here. i'd like to see the book some time but whether i need to really own it.......my kids don't even appreciate Tintin

 

(we do have the DVDs).....or Asterix.

 

i did get my son Theodor Geisel wartime cartoons book https://www.amazon.com.au/Dr-Seuss-Goes-War-Editorial-ebook/dp/B00EXCAJ8E

 

Every child needs an education in racist cartoons.

Bizarre as it sounds, while a was Stationed in Brazzaville in Congo, at one of the Hotels we stayed at (until proper quarters were found) you could buy a copy of Tintin Au Congo (French language) but more interesting was the possibility of ordering a copy printed with your own name substituting 'Tintin'  ( I of course now regret taking up the option  :) )

 

A year or so later I visited the same hotel with a Russian crew (the 'personal' offer was no longer available) and they were very impressed and amused to see a copy of 'Boris Au Congo' displayed in a case in the lobby

That's almost enough reason to change your name to Boris....

These all look excellent! Would love to read through a few.

This one’s a favourite of mine. Probably because the main character is a Stuka pilot. The psychopathic Bf-109 pilot antagonist is enjoyable as well.

^^ I like that one. It even shows the wing mounted Brownings on a beaufighter being useful. ;)
