Tintin in Tibet by Hergé
3.0
Tintin's second visit to India! Published weekly between Sep 1958 and Nov 1959, the story tells of Tintin in search of his friend Chang Chong-Chen, who the authorities claim has died in a plane crash in the Himalayas. Convinced that Chang has survived and accompanied by Snowy, Captain Haddock and the Sherpa guide Tharkey (?!), Tintin crosses the Himalayas to the plateau of Tibet, along the way encountering the mysterious Yeti.
Hergé considered it his favourite Tintin adventure and an emotional effort, as he created it while going through mental health issues and a painful divorce, but that does not excuse him of the lazy writing that makes the series seem uneccessarily drawn out. Most of the story is just walking, like the plot of the Lord of the Rings.
