I would suggest that this is the last of the war novels, though by the time that this was released the war was almost over (I believe Belgium had been at least partially liberated, and Hitler and the Japanese were on the back foot, though there was still a lot of war to fight at this stage). Most of the album takes place at sea (which is similar to the other war albums) and it noticeably has no antagonist, it is purely a treasure hunt, and while the threat of the Bird Brothers still hangs in th

I have known TinTin all my life and i must have read the series as a very very young tot, or my mom read them to me. For the past 40 something years I have been avoiding re-reading the books, while at the same time being very attracted to the author/artist Hergé's artwork. in fact I am totally nuts about it.
It is fascinating that Hergé did a remarkable amount of research for his narrative/artwork. He made models of locations/ships, and in many ways they are sort of like little fi More...

This is the second or third Tintin book I've read, all completely out of order. That really isn't so important since most of the adventures are self-contained stories. Apparently, this one is a direct continuation of "The Secret of the Unicorn," and indeed our heroes attempt to find Red Rackham's Treasure on the sunken vessel "The Unicorn." The story is fast-paced and entertaining, though Tintin is the least interesting character. Captain Haddock (friend of Tintin and descend

This is the second book in a series of two, the first one being "The secret of the Unicorn". In this adventure Tintin and Captain Haddock goes on an expedition to find the treasure of Sir Francis Haddock. It is in this book Tintin meets Professor Cuthbert Calculus for the first time. His underwater machine turns out to be invaluable, even though Tintin and Captain Haddock at first reject it.

The Tintin stories for anyone who has read them and understands their history can't be viewed as anything other than groundbreaking. The beginnings of these stories have been around as long as the Lord of the Rings, the illustration and environments in the Tintin books are accurate and extremely detailed. Anyone who has spent even a little time exploring Herge (Georges Remi) can see the painstaking research and adversity he worked through to compose the world around Tintin. His ideas were ahe

My second Tintin story. I am a newcomer to the "fun" of reading comics and graphic novels. I picked a couple of these up at the library and sat them on the coffee table wondering if there would be any interest from my family, particularly my 13 year-old son. Not much. There are two more stories in this book but I don't know if I will read them or not. I don't find the graphics very artistic and the format necessarily leaves much of the detail to be filled in by the reader's imagination

My review, as published in Tintin Books:
Another hit for Herge, and a clear indicator that he was entering a golden age of storytelling. There's nothing surprising here - it would be many years before Herge decided to break his own format - but again the story is incredibly well done. Professor Cuthbert Calculus is a wonderful addition to the cast: he's very funny and yet also a competent addition to the team. Like Haddock, he appears at first glance to be simply a plot functionary More...

La suite directe du Secret de la Licorne, et le plus drôle des Tintin jusqu'ici. 5/5 rien que pour les interactions hilarantes entre le professeur Tournesol (fraichement débarqué : voilà enfin l'équipe au complet !) et le capitaine Haddock. L'intrigue en elle-même n'est pas d'une complexité extrême : il s'agit de retrouver le fameux trésor en mer, qu'on finit après de nombreuses tentatives infructueuses, par découvrir ailleurs : à Moulinsart bien sûr ! Un album très plaisant, on est vraiment ent

Tintin is certainly one of my favorite comics. Especially this one, it is the sequel to The Secret of the Unicorn, where Tintin and Captain Haddock find themselves holding possession of a map which could lead them straight to treasure. As always there is comedy as well as action. The two bumbling police detectives make an appearance, Thompson, and Thomson. And of course Tintin's trust side kick Snowy. This comic in particular features a submarine disguised as a shark. An invention to help them f

Je suis présentement en train de relire dans l'ordre chronologique toutes les aventures de Tintin et je dois avouer que ce tome est un des plus amusants. Il y a tous les éléments d'un bon Tintin : de l'aventure, de la comédie, Les Dupont, Haddock et Tournesol. C'est la suite directe du Secret de la Licorne. Tintin et ses compagnons partent à la recherche du trésor de Rackham Le Rouge. Le rebondissement de la fin est excellent par rapport à l'histoire. J'ai bien hâte de voir l'adaptation au ciném

This book is perhaps one of the best comic book series ever, each story line is more fabulous than the other, making you want to turn the pages annd read more and more, Tintin, haddock, calculus, are some of the greatest characters in all of literature.
This one is about Captain Haddocks ancestor, he was a pirate, and tintin and captain haddock search for the gold. Going through every possible lead they possibly can, the story of red rackhams treasure, is one of the best comic book s More...

The actual finding of the treasure is almost the only part of the book which made it to the screen this time, most of the rest apparently being saved for the next film which will also combine parts of The Seven Crystal Balls and Prisoners of the Sun. This means no trace of the book's main new character, Professor Calculus, whose shark-shaped submarine is vital to the expedition to retrieve the treasure, and whose unconsciousness of his own dea More...

Another wonderful book!! I don't know what to say, I may repeat what I said in my earlier reviews as I am out of words to describe how best are THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN!!
The film inspired me to read all the books, though I have seen cartoons, it always gives a good feeling if u read the books!
Many people, who read the comics first, said that the film has not done justice to the books, but I donot agree!!
Both book and the film are equally wonderful and being More...

Who doesn't love Tintin? After my whole family saw and loved the movie, I dug out the pile of books in Lyle's room and started rereading a few, starting with Red Rackham. Of course, reading one makes me want to read the others--we don't have Secret of the Unicorn, and in a weak moment I think we gave away a few of the collections Nate had acquired, but these recreate a different time and a culture that never really existed but is fun to imagine. Recommended!

Part Two of Tin Tin's adventure where he goes in search of the treasure of Red Rackham with Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus. Not as good as part one, but fun nonetheless. A little bit of a twist at the end.

Blistering Barnacles! That was repeated way too often.
I love treasure hunting stories and Tintin... so it worked out! :)
Calculus was hilarious. I love British humour.

One of the funniest of the TINTIN books - it's filled with puns and sight gags. Definitely one of the first truly great entries in the series.
