| | The Calculus Affair (The Adventures of Tintin) for as low as $5.42 at The Gaming Outpost. (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The mysterious phenomenon of breaking glass and china, including the Captain's whisky glass, is only fully explained on page 51, and the later pages expose many other plot details which contributed to the overall controlled confusion in the beginning and middle of the book. |
 | | For Tintin and the Captain's dash through Switzerland, every little detail--the Hotel Cornavin, Professor Topolino's villa in Nyon, even the positioning of signposts and billboards--was mapped out by Hergý, with his usual extreme attention to detail. |
 | | And for Tintin and Haddock's unexpected visit to Szohod, Hergý based most of the city on bits and pieces from the USSR--after all, it began in TINTIN magazine in 1954, the height of the Cold War. |
