About the series
In The Crab with the Golden Claws, Belgian publisher Methuen launched a single-issue comic adaptation of Hergé's classic Tintin adventure, originally serialized in the 1940s. This 1981 release presents the story of a mysterious can of crab meat and a shipwreck that leads Tintin and Captain Haddock into a dangerous opium-smuggling ring. While brief, the issue stands as a curious, standalone English-language edition of a foundational Tintin tale, offering a snapshot of how the series was packaged for a new generation of readers.
