I read "Tintin in America" relatively late in my journey through the Adventures of Tintin, which might not be fair since this early work by Herge certainly pales in comparison to some of our beloved heroes later and greatest adventures (e.g., "Land of Black Gold" or "Explorers on the Moon").
While this is not a great Tintin adventure, "Tintin in America" is certainly an interesting one because of the way Herge presents America to his readers.

 History of the Black Island
Tintin had been captured by a couple of villains and taken (via a beautifully drawn snazzy claret Jaguar) to the white cliffs on the south-east coast of England, where he was held at gun-point and ordered to jump to his death.
This was November 1928, and after two months of less successful comic strips, Tintin made his first appearance in the pages of the magazine, which is where he would stay until the war closed the paper down for good in 1940.
Of course, being basically 'Tintin In Britain', there was no doubt that the book was up for translation, but the publishers felt it was too inaccurate (originating in a simpler environment for the Hergé; Studios) to be much of a success on 'home turf'.

The simple-minded pleasures of these melodrama cliches are supplemented by a sophisticated and often quite savage critique on modern America (having tackled Bolshevik Russia in the previous adventure), an America on the brink of globalising superpowerdom, a critique that invokes the past to indict the present.
But in the book's most perturbing sequence, Tintin accidentally hits oil on their land; they are speedily thrown off the reservation, and oil wells, banks and a new city erected in its place; a brilliant, shocking encapsulation of the long and terrible history that underlies bright modern America.
The irony of the story is that America, once so new, innocent, a beacon of hope where the world's oppressed could find refuge, has become as corrupt as the Old World, to which Tintin must return ito protect HIS innocence.
