    are these hardback or paperback books?

    • sakurakiks on 04/02/2022 - 16:57

      i think the large ones in the orange box are paper, and theres a smaller format red one that's hard. Maybe theres a version of large hardbacks out there too, but I havent seen it around/on sale much?

      edit* eg the Amazon link in below comments is the hardback version

      • Twisty on 04/02/2022 - 18:33

        I got two large tintin books that are hard covered. Are these ones the original ones that were sold separately?

      It's the larger, ~30cm tall paperbacks: https://i.imgur.com/C8gBGf3.jpg
      IMO these are the best version, the hardbacks are smaller with really small text.

    Those who can't afford can always download most of these books for free from online and upload them on google books.
    Love reading them on my fold 3.

    • vanZwalker on 04/02/2022 - 20:50

      What format would you recommend downloading? Kindle and EPUB both don't appear to be available.

      • vanZwalker on 04/02/2022 - 20:52

        Scratch that, I just couldn't download them in bulk - working fine individually :) Cheers!

        • hopper on 04/02/2022 - 21:12

          Pdf worked fine, downloaded the bundle

          • belbo on 05/02/2022 - 13:39

            @hopper: How did you download the pdf bundle? Which option ?

            • hopper on 05/02/2022 - 14:32

              @belbo: Pdf bundle.

              • belbo on 05/02/2022 - 14:58

                @hopper: Cool. Thanks! Just noticed - you click on the "31 Files" box.

    Are the compact editions on https://www.amazon.com.au/Tintin-Collection-Compact-Editions… equivalent? If so, they are cheaper there…

    • metalhead on 04/02/2022 - 17:05

      The compact edition text is tiny. But otherwise yes, equivalent.

    • cafeman on 04/02/2022 - 17:40

      I wouldn't get the compact editions. I bought them, they're too small to read easily. They were never written to be published in that print format, stick with the full-sized edition.

  • shroomish on 04/02/2022 - 17:17

    Thomson and Thompson were evidently not related.

    • upended on 04/02/2022 - 17:43

      Really! Source?
      They were always introduced as twins.

      • shroomish on 04/02/2022 - 17:45

        Nope, thats an 80's band. The clue is in the spelling because they are always introduced as Thomson & Thompson

        • upended on 04/02/2022 - 17:48
          +1

          I always assumed those were their first names. Interestingly, do you know which one is Thomson?

          The only way to distinguish between them is by the trim of their moustaches. Thompson's is neatly trimmed, whilst Thomson's has a distinctive twirl at the ends.

          • shroomish on 04/02/2022 - 17:51

            @upended: I cant say, ive never met them. But you could also be right with your first name hypothesis.

            • strangeloops66 on 04/02/2022 - 21:14

              @shroomish: Dupont and Dupond are the French names. Not given names in French-speaking parts of the world. I don't believe I have ever heard of Thomson or Thompson as given names. They are patronymics (son of Thom(as) in both cases) and, as I understand it, always form family names.

      "Thompson, with a 'P', as in psychology."

      "Thomson, without a 'P', as in Venezuela."

    Good value, those large thin comics are deceptively expensive.

    Only missing Tintin in Congo

    I bought the tin tin in the congo book cover poster from ebay. There’s a seller on there that has some others listed, I asked if they can do Tin tin in the congo and they did.

  • dtoovey on 04/02/2022 - 22:06

    I've been buying these over the years in hardbacks for about $16 to $20 new, so it works out at about $400 for the set in hardback. This is a good deal in soft cover, and the larger format is the only way to go.

    I loved tintin and asterix growing up and would like to share it with my kids, but thoughts on how these books hold up for the current generation? Would a 6-7 year old be able to grow into them with time?

    • woka on 05/02/2022 - 01:48

      I don't see why not, they're just fun adventures.

    • SpaceInvader112 on 05/02/2022 - 11:56

      Even if just for the art it's worth it. I grew up drawing pictures of the covers with textas, and there's nothing too inappropriate for kids (anything that is, (like opium) will go over their heads!)

  • mikezillakind on 05/02/2022 - 13:58

    whats the Best way to collect these books from a collectors point of view if i just want one of each book ?
