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 plot and theme of Tintin in Congo is simple- the various adventures the young reporter and his faithful companion Snowy gets into in Africa, including troubles in big game hunting, conflicts with evil witch doctors and busting an illegal diamond racket run by none other than Al Capone!!!.

 Chris Allen Online - The Online Home of Writer Christopher Allen
The first wasn't my fault--my father gave me Frederic Tuten's Tintin in the New World, a novel featuring Herge's character somewhat ironically: it wasn't an adventure novel, per se--at least not in Herge's style--and it also featured settings and characters from Kafka's story, "The Magic Mountain." In comics terms, it wasn't canon.
And now there's this, which is one of the very first Tintin books, and though I have only my memories of a few skimmed pages of Tintin's later adventures, I think this one is rather below the standards of the usual stories.
Aside from the constant racism (Congo natives are portrayed as superstitious, lazy, stupid or conniving--also Belgian, and Tintin has no problem describing them as such out loud), the story moves quickly but without rhythm, just incident after unpleasant, unenlightened and uninvolving incident.
