As a kid, it was always strange to me how book 4, The Blue Lotus, never redrawn, looked wonkier than the three preceding "older" books, and consequently, I was never a big fan of that one even though it's Tintin's first adult story, and the first that was truly a complete novel, rather than vignettes hung together on a travelogue.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-68952807790925638522016-04-04T15:54:05.940-03:002016-04-04T15:54:05.940-03:00Yeah, Tintin isn't exactly a conservationist, ...Yeah, Tintin isn't exactly a conservationist, is he?

As for the backgrounds...well, I don't really pay much attention to those anyway, so the differences don't mean much to me :)<br /><br />Mike W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
