As kids, my siblings and I read and re-read all the Tintin books over and over again. They are stories that I strongly asssociate with positive aspects of my childhood.

Just a touching story of friendship. I've read this and watched the episode a million times.

I don't get the appeal... what am I missing? Is there another Tintin story I should have read?

My favorite Tintin adventure. Love the mountaineering sequences. The Captain's mishaps are hilarious. This is probably the first Tintin I ever read; I remember reading installments in Highlights for Children when I was a kid waiting in the orthodontist's office. Weird, what we remember, isn't it?

That was the best so far. And strictly adventure, no crime, no espionage. In this one we do some traveling to real places. And see bravery and fool-heartiness. And okay some levitation, some clairvoyance, a yeti. But a fun fast paced story with better than typical art.
