Tintin in the Land of Soviets is one of the most sought after Tintin works- not because of the storyline, but because it is the first Tintin work amongst 23 albums, and secondly it has been out-of-print for a long time, save for a collector’s edition special print in 1981.
The subsequent 21 Tintin works, written by Herge in a period covering 45 years from Tintin in America (1932) to Tintin and the Picaros (1976) have received worldwide recognition- with translations in 25 odd languages and reprints so many in number that it is hard to keep track of.
The Tintin movies, which were later published as albums- mainly Tintin and the Golden Fleece, (1965), Tintin and the Blue Oranges (1967) and Tintin and the Lake of Sharks (1973) do not find mention in the volume.
