He and Snowy are on a cruise to Egypt when they happen to meet Professor Sophocles Sarcophagus (the first of Tintin's absent-minded professors) and join his expedition. But they become embroiled in a complicated scheme involving a fakir, cigars marked with an unusual brand, and Rajijah, the poison of madness. Most significantly, Tintin meets the detectives Thompson and Thomson as well as the movie mogul Rastapopolous. While <I>Cigars of the Pharaoh</I> is a self-contained story, some of the mysteries are resolved in <I>The Blue Lotus</I>. Herge wrote <I>Cigars</I> in 1932 then revised it in 1955, which is why the art has the more polished look of later stories as well as the anachronistic glimpse of a copy of <I>Destination: Moon</i>. <I>--David Horiuchi</I> 141019 book 1934 Cigars of the Pharaoh (The Adventures of Tintin) total:1513|5:466|4:502|3:458|2:72|1:15| 1513 5871 1754 19 3 1 false false Tue Sep 04 20:17:51 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 07 02:39:38 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jul 16 21:21:04 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 22:51:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1991 Fri Jul 06 03:57:42 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 28 01:46:47 -0700 2007
