Tintin in Tibet

Hergé’s final completed Tintin adventure, published by Methuen in 1962, sends the young reporter on a desperate search for his friend Chang after a plane crash in the Himalayas. This single, self-contained volume is notable for its stark, almost dreamlike atmosphere and a story that strips away the series’ usual cast of supporting characters to focus on Tintin’s loyalty and determination. It stands as one of the most personal and emotionally resonant entries in the series, reflecting Hergé’s own experiences and his fascination with Tibetan culture.
