The Adventures of Tintin #2

This second omnibus volume of Hergé's classic series collects three complete Tintin adventures: The Broken Ear, The Black Island, and King Ottokar's Sceptre. Originally serialized in the 1930s and 1940s, these stories showcase the young reporter's globe-trotting investigations, from a missing idol in South America to a forged scepter threatening a European monarchy. Little, Brown's 2009 edition presents all three tales in a single hardcover, preserving the original black-and-white artwork and paneling of Hergé's early masterpieces.
