About the series
The Broken Ear, a single-issue comic released in 1975 by Methuen, stands as a self-contained adventure in the long-running Tintin series. Written and illustrated by Hergé, this story follows the young reporter Tintin as he investigates the theft of a priceless Arumbaya fetish, leading him from Brussels to the jungles of South America. Though brief in its original run, the book is a classic example of Hergé's meticulous ligne claire style and his ability to blend mystery, exotic locales, and satire into a tightly plotted narrative.
