The Black Island | |
Hergé, one of the most famous Belgians in the world, was a comics writer and artist. The internationally successful Adventures of Tintin are his most well-known and beloved works. They have been translated into 38 different languages and have inspired such legends as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. He wrote and illustrated for The Adventures of Tintin until his death in 1983.

The Black Island has the unusual distinction of existing in two different color versions. The first color version appeared in 1943 and the second color version appeared in 1966. The primary reason for the revision was to make the background "set" more authentic and up to date. Herge's assistant Bob de Moor went on a research expedition to Britain in 1961 to gather information for the revision. The second color version is the one that is more widely available and familiar to most Tintin fans.
The present review is concerned with the first color version, which is what I purchased. (I feel I have to state this explicitly because Amazon typically lumps reviews of different versions together.) I've read a couple of expert opinions comparing the two versions and the consensus seems to be that the earlier version is superior, having a freshness and sparkle that is lacking in the later version. But I personally don't agree. In most cases I feel that the change has been for the better. The plot and dialogue are almost identical, with only incidental variations here and there. But there is more detail and texture in the new version, enhancing the reading experience without being distracting. There is a certain quaintness associated with the older technology in the first color version (airplanes, cars, and even the fire alarm) but unless you are a dedicated Tintin aficionado, the more widely available second color version is the one I would recommend.
I had all of these Tintins as a kid growing up in Trinidad and Tobago. It is a great trip down memory lane and my son loves them as well! The books are just great fun adventures! Wonderful books!!
There are a few books though that I didn't care for. One was Tintin in America which was completely off base. The trip to the moon was a a little weak as well in my mind even as a kid. I guess because the space race was going on and it seemed again, off base. It would have been REALLY good in the '50s ;-)
Reading the Tintin adventures when I was a kid changed my life. It was my first exposure to the graphic novel experience. back then you got them a chapter at a time, later in complete book form like this. They were adventure stories with exciting action, mysterious puzzles, hilarious characters, and real world concepts I could understand. I buy them now for my nieces and nephews to read when they come over, but I have to read each one again as well. I very much like this extra-large softcover edition. The art work is much better presented and you can really put you whole focus into the story. I can't afford the hardcover editions so this is the next best thing. Not a one of these is bad. I'm working on collecting them all.
My grandson loves the Tintin stories, so we spend hours reading the books. He'll do the voice of Tintin and Snowy and I do the rest of the characters. Except he loves to do Capt. Haddock's Blustering Blue Barnacales and his Thundering Typhoons. He enjoys the books so much and I enjoy the bonding time with him. The graphics are beautiful. The stories hold your interest.
