Tintin Reporter Chez Les Soviets Limited Edition Bookes Soviet

This luxurious edition of les aventures de Tintin Reporter chez les Soviets is something you will treasure. Its cover evokes the adventurous spirit Herge instilled in his brave character, Tintin. The end papers are that inky blue, and unlike the normal edition the pages are heavy art paper, which gives a luminosity to the new colour drawings. The BOUM and the CRAC on pages 8 and 9 explode on the page.

The use of this palette of colours highlights the way Herge beautifully balanced each frame, pages 8 and 9 illustrate this. The colour choice is reminiscent of Benjamin Rabier and suits the original drawings of Herge.

First published in 1929, the newspaper Petit Vingtieme sends its cub reporter, Tintin, on his first story to the USSR. Here he discovers the other side of the communist 'Paradise' and escapes the traps set by the secret police.

This limited edition version includes a screenprint of a page not published in this book, and denotes the number of the print run.
