About the author

Hergé

1,068 books1,983 followers
Georges Prosper Remi (22 May 1907 – 3 March 1983), better known by the pen name Hergé, was a Belgian comics writer and artist.
His best known and most substantial work is The Adventures of Tintin comic book series, which he wrote and illustrated from 1929 until his death in 1983, leaving the twenty-fourth Tintin adventure Tintin and Alph-Art unfinished. His work remains a strong influence on comics, particularly in Europe.

"Hergé" is the pseudonym of George Remí, making a game with the initials of his name inverted. Throughout the evolution of his star character, Tintin, we can see the progress of this author: from the first titles marked by the ultraconservative doctrine of the director of the newspaper Le Petit Vingtième, to the breaking of conventions embodied from The Blue Lotus , as well as the evolution of the society of his time. The research carried out by Hergé to historically contextualize his Adventures, as well as his implicit social criticism, have made Tintin a masterpiece of the 20th century.

»»» A aquisição:
Uma aquisição numa feira de usados, para conhecer um pouco do trabalho inicial de Hergé.

»»» A aventura:
Este é o 2.º tomo de uma aventura intitulada “O raio misterioso”, aqui os jovens João e Joana e o macaco Simão escapam do submarino onde os piratas os mantêm reféns e acabam numa ilha exótica a fugir dos habitantes locais, do vulcão que entra em erupção e dos piratas que seguiram no seu encalço.
Difíceis circunstâncias acabam por os separar e João acaba às mãos do cientista louco que tenta usá-lo numa experiência de transferência da alma do pequeno João para um robot.

»»» Sentimento final:
Bastante bom.
É um livro com muita ação, semelhante aos de Tintin, em que tão depressa se está numa grande cidade como, logo a seguir, numa ilha exótica e sempre em movimento. É especialmente empolgante na forma como nos mostra uma equipa de dois pequenos e um macaco muito corajosa e engenhosa.
Uma surpresa muito agradável.

»»» Nota final (Capa e outras considerações):
--- [Capa] – Capa bem conseguida, dá a sensação de aventura por locais exóticos que este livro contém e destaca os nossos protagonistas.
--- [Ilustração] – A arte segue o traço simples que se conhece de Hergé no Tintin, ainda que um pouco menos aperfeiçoado. As vinhetas são, igualmente, pequenas, com tudo muito concentrado em cada uma.
--- [Nota aos pais] – Os pais podem querer dar uma vista de olhos geral antes de dar aos mais pequenos para ler, pois este é um livro do seu tempo (tem, por exemplo, as crianças com armas).

অ্যার্জেকে বলব আমি 'কল্পনার মহান কারিগর'! ভবনের নকশা, বিভিন্ন যন্ত্রের নকশা, অন্য অনেক কাঠামোর নকশার মাধ্যমে তিনি যেভাবে দৃশ্যপটের প্রসার ঘটিয়েছেন- তা অনবদ্য। একবারে রিয়েলিস্টিক না হয়েও তাঁর চরিত্রগুলো হয়ে উঠেছে আমাদের একান্ত ভালোবাসার! আমাদের ছোটবড় সকলকে আনন্দরাজ্যে ভ্রমণের সুযোগ করে দিয়েছেন এই সৃজনশীল ব্যক্তি। তিনি পরকালে ভালো থাকুন!

Format Normal = D.L. 1er tri 1953 ; D. 1980/0053/50 = 37 tome back

Despite being published as the fourth tome, it combines with the third to make the first story « Le Rayon du Mystère » of the series which didn't make it to album form until after the later-created « Stratonef » adventure.

I rarely read such adventure tomes all->at->once, and much less two in a row, which means that this diptych is very approachable and engaging with easy readability!

Despite being being so early in his career, released in 1939 weekly installments, his art already had the same clear-line refinement of the quality that would influence countless worldwide and define a huge percentage of Belgian bd for so many decades! (The first Tintin (USSR) is the only work of his that has a totally 'undrafted' look to me.)

Vuosina 1936-1938 ilmestynyt tuplaseikkailu 'Manitoba' ei vastaa / Karamakon purkaus taitaa olla ensimmäinen Veikko, Tette ja Jykke -sarjan tarinoista. Lapset ja heidän apinaystävänsä törmäävät sattumalta moniin jännittäviin ja vaarallisiin tilanteisiin, jotka ovat kuin suoraan viihdekirjallisuuden kliseeoppaasta peräisin - menossa on mukana niin hulluja tiedemiehiä, sädeaseita, robotteja, kidnappauksia kuin purkautuvia tulivuoria. Kovin hyvin aikaa lastensarjakuva ei ole kestänyt, etenkin syrjäisellä saarella asuvan ihmissyöjäheimon kuvaus on nykymittapuulla avoimen rasistista.

I liked this story better than the first two books. This is the first book of two episodes. I was more engaged in this story than the previous books. I am glad that I also had the second book so I didn't have to wait to continue reading.

Trochu slabší zakončení jinak celkem dobře našlápnutého příběhu. Ovšem docela dobře to zachraňuje akční druhá půlka alba.

This one is pretty similar with the last one. The character jocko seems funnier and main rescuer here. The ending part of mad scientist looks little interesting, but overall its average.

کم کم فرمول کارای هرژه داره برام رو میشه
این جلد بنظرم الکی کش اومده بود و برای اینکه کار به دو جلد برسه چندبار ماجرای فرار و دزدیده شدن تکرار شد که اضافی بود.

Komik ini merupakan kelanjutan dari volume sebelumnya, Misteri “Manitoba”. Jo, Zette dan simpanse peliharaan mereka, Jocko, menjadi tamu kehormatan suku primitif yang sebelumnya nyaris memakan mereka. (Bayangkan! Komik untuk anak-anak dengan unsur kanibalisme!) Ternyata, keselamatan mereka belum terjamin, karena gank penjahat masih mengejar mereka. Saat mengira sudah berhasil mengalahkan para penjahat, tiba-tiba Gunung Karamako meletus dan memusnahkan seluruh pulau. Zette dan Jocko menghilang, sedangkan Jo berhasil diselamatkan pesawat Amerika. Apakah cerita berakhir di situ? Tentu tidak, karena ini komik Herge! Petualangan masih berlanjut berputar-putar, hingga tentu saja diakhiri dengan si Profesor gila berhasil dikalahkan.

Sama seperti komik-komik Herge lainnya, jauh lebih menarik dibaca daripada diceritakan. Jadi coba saja baca sendiri ya!

Satu fakta menarik yang kutemukan saat browsing informasi tentang Misteri “Manitoba” dan Letusan Karamako adalah bahwa kedua volume ini tidak tersedia dalam edisi Bahasa Inggris akibat unsur rasisme (that is: suku primitif kanibal berkulit hitam di pulau terpencil) yang termuat di dalamnya.

I read the previous instalment from a PDF translating it from French with Google Glass. This time have a copy of the book in French (1952 version). As Before, I have a PDF of the 1936/7 black and white version for comparison (I say more about the that in my previous entry).

It was originally published in Le Petit Vingtième newspaper with red and green half tone colouring but the black and white edition (2003) loses that in favour of just the line work and some grey half tones.
I don't think the original versions were ever collected as albums.

It seems Hergé got bored of his story and goes off on several tangents - or maybe he just needed to pad it out - he revisits some imagery from Tintin's American adventure but there's enough novel imagery to excite any Herge fan coming to it for the first time.

J’ai moins aimé ce tome. Il part dans tous les sens, on dirait que les éléments sont improvisés. Le jeu «du chat et de la souris» qui avait débuté dans le tome précédent se poursuit dans celui-ci et cela en vient redonnant.
