The Broken Ear | |
Herge (Georges Remi) was born in Brussels in 1907. Over the course of 54 years he completed 23 albums of The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of all time. With translations published in over 80 languages, more than 230 million copies sold worldwide and a Hollywood movie to its name, Tintin dominates the Comics and Graphic Novels chart even today. Sadly, Herge died in 1983, leaving his 24th album, Tintin and Alph-Art, unfinished, but his hero continues to be one of the most iconic characters in both adult and children's fiction.

Tintin is a reporter and cannot but get involved in the story of the theft of a South American tribal artefact when he hears of it. Little does he know that the initial enquiry will involve him in a murder mystery taking him to the jungles and banana republics of Latin America.
The Broken Ear begins with Tintin at home relaxing wearing and in the midst of objects originating from his adventures in the Orient from The Adventures of Tintin: The Blue Lotus. By the end of the book he is in possession of several artefacts from fictitious countries to the south as well. Before that happens though, the murder mystery moves fast through continents, ships, aeroplanes, serial revolutions and false allegiances and a good dose of colonial telltales. Author Hergé exploits the sad realities of imperialism as he mocks oil and weapons companies, war, generals and greed and domination. The drawings are meaningful, fun with Snowy, in particular, coming across as loyal, cynical, cute and faithful. His scenes are some of the best in the book. The poor dog's tail and other body parts are repeatedly under attack. The detectives Thomson and Thompson mix up 'instinctive' and 'intrinsic' yet another 'indication' that they are not smart.
The Broken Ear is another fun 62-page romp for Tintin (just try to figure out the, er, native dialogue), but is hardly the series' best. The mystery is never unravelled and the ending and conclusion are only partly satisfying. Perhaps that is realism after all. It is not clear why Tintin has to buy an advertisement when he works at a newspaper or how he always has money despite so many travails and tribulations. The customary Tintin lucky breaks are, of course, at hand.
The series continues as we, and Tintin and Snowy, move on to Black Island (The Adventures of Tintin).
Not my favorite story but Hergé was at the end of a prolific career. I love Tintineith huge nostalgia do take my five stars from that perspective.
