Just in time for Herge's birthday, here's a quick look at the 90th Anniversary Box Set of the Adventures of Tintin from Egmont. This is not a newly designed and redone set of editions - rather, it is a handsome and sturdy slipcase housing all 23 of Egmont's full-sized- album volumes of Tintin adventures.
Including the 140+page Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and the never-finished Tintin and the Alph-Art, this is a lovely box for for some lovely books, and a definite crowd-pleaser!

I love Tintin but was only able to read a few of them growing up. I'm so happy that I can get all of them (in the same format from back then too) in one shot!

@ftloc 3 года назад

Sounds like this box is made for you ! 😁

@Hellismary 5 лет назад

I honestly never gave Tintin a second thought until i started watching this channel and seeing your enthusiasm for the series m still very new to it all but Herge's art alone is phenomenal ! And as a fan of comics here in America & Manga in Japan its great being exposed to European comics as we dont emphasize them much if not at all here in the states ! Mostly Manga or regular comics , so thanks !

@ftloc 5 лет назад

That is just wonderful to hear! Although I was sure my love for the Tintin library of adventures was a nostalgic bond for the most, given I had grown up reading them, many many childhood loves have not stood the test of time. Tintin still charms and impresses after all these years, so I'm confident that you will find at least some aspects to appreciate!

@minimoe2807 4 года назад

You are right about the emphasis of American comics and Manga here in the States. When I was growing up I lived over seas for a few years and wad exposed to Tintin. It was wonderful and they are still fun now. Try Tintin in America it will have some familiar things in it and it's fun to see our country in the 1920's through an European perspective. Enjoy!

@DrumondArt 5 лет назад

For the Love of Comics Thank you! Sad the HC edition is not oversized like this one.

@ftloc 5 лет назад

@@DrumondArt Oh yes, that was my first reaction too! But honestly, 1) it would be impractical given how much that would weigh, negating one advantage of boxsets (the ability to transport all volumes together) and 2) it really is the paperback that needs the protection afforded by the slipcase on a shelf. Given how thin they are, the paperbacks from my childhood have all gotten pretty ragged due to years of standing/stacking, while my hardcovers (albeit new) seem to be holding up fine with no stress on their covers and spines. Still, a hardcover box set is probably the epitome of a celebratory edition for people like you and me, so I completely share your instinct!

@themagnificentsteiner8600 5 лет назад

Apparently there are even two different hardcover sets. One mostly red and one mostly blue. But the books have the same smaller size.

@TheMinimalNerd 5 лет назад

I can never get enough of the red in the "Red Lotus" cover! Glad to see it getting a mention on the internet :) BTW have you seen the smaller TinTin softcovers? These are roughly as big (or small) as the 3-in-1 hardcovers. And while they cover just a single story/adventure, there is a handful of bonus content and fun contextual info about said story/adventure towards the end. Personally have (almost) all of the larger softcover volumes, but I am just a sucker for bonus content. Especially when it is about TinTin :D

@ftloc 5 лет назад

I have not seen these bonus-content softcovers but now I really want to take a look! Thanks for the tip, And yes, that red is something, isn't it? Less immediately arresting, yet equally evocative for me, is the green of the Seven Crystal Balls, which I missed mentioning in this video!

Sir ye tintin set colour pages main milta hai kya, aur ye congo vala version kisi bhi tintin set main nahi milta aisa kyu? Aur price aur aapne kaha se liya?

@ftloc 5 лет назад

Only Tintin in the Land of the Soviets is black-and-white, all others are in colour. Congo is considered racist and the depictions of Africa, Africans, and a lot of the behaviour, is objectionable. So I think it is kept as an academic/ study edition, as part of comics history but not to be taken as a regular/ popular read. That's just my theory though. This set I borrowed but it is available on Amazon India.

I'll keep an eye open for the numbers. I got into Usagi Yojimbo relatively recently through IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles One shots...So I am glad you have the character covered in detail.

Greetings and thank you for your comprehensive reviews! i have a question about this collection, i read some negative reviews by German Amazon and the were all about the tiny writing/font and that one would need a " magnifier" to read some texts is that correct? i mean with all this size, is the txt really a problem? Cheers!

@ftloc 3 года назад

Thank you so much! As for the font, in English at least it is no longer the 'Hyslop' lettering that used to be in the books until the 90s. This new font is closer to the original French lettering, they say. It has a slightly italicized look to it, so it is not smaller, but it is thinner. I would have preferred the Hyslop lettering because I am very attached to that from my childhood, but I don't think the new lettering is unreadable or too small. It's just not as pretty or as bold for those making the comparison. If you are not comparing, I believe it should be just fine, I hope that helps!

I know how you feel - I didn't buy this set myself, having all the books already, but was sorely tempted! The larger size is definitely the way to go with the series in my opinion, but I do like hardcovers too, which is why I have the full-size, non-boxed, hardcovers that I bought one by one. Do you have the option to sell off your current set if you did decide to go for an 'upgrade'?

@ftloc 5 лет назад

Thank you so much; learning editing is so tough but rewarding! I used to switch back and forth in my loyalties between the two 'big Eurocomics' all my life. At first I loved Tintin, then in my early teens I was all snooty about how the history and the puns made Asterix superior, then a reread of Tintin sort of shook me awake to the mastery of the form that Herge showed and developed...These days I don't need to rank them against each other, but I always remember a snarky line I once read - 'There are two kinds of people in the world: those who think Tintin is better than Asterix and those who *know* Tintin is better than Asterix' 😋

Thanks for making this video. One question: is the font size small? Hard to read?

@ftloc 3 года назад

Thank you; so glad you liked it! Re the font, it is not small per se; it is definitely of larger size than the smaller box sets have. However, it *is* different from the thicker Hyslop lettering the English translations used all the way into the 90s. This means the font here is thinner than what some people are used to, and resembles italics. This makes it closer to the original French lettering but does stick out to some who have grown up with Tintin as relatively harder to read. I hope that helps!

Thanks for the video as a fellow Tintin lover and fan since my childhood.

Please highlight that in your next video Thanks again 🙏

@Brother.T 5 лет назад

Hello, Can you confirm if all 23 books in this set have the original Hyslop font? The new “digital” font that Egmont is publishing the Tintin books with is absolutely terrible and distracting. It takes away from the immersiveness that Hyslop brought with his handwriting. Please let me and others here know so we can buy this set too (of course, by using your channel’s link).

@ftloc 5 лет назад

No, unfortunately that 'original' (English translation) font by Hyslop is apparently copyrighted/owned by Moulinsart, I think, and there seems to be some issue(s?) in using it. This box is not a new edition, in any case, but just the all-in-one packaging of the existing Egmont full-size volumes, so they they too feature the 'new' font ('new' for people my age; I just learned this has now been around for a while). It is apparently based on the original French lettering, although again this could be my bad memory mixing things up. I know there are strong feelings about this, and I have my own opinions, but that's probably a different, nerdy video that nobody wants to watch! 😀 Short answer: it's just the same new font as the albums have individually.

@Brother.T 5 лет назад

For the Love of Comics thank you for the information. It is sad that this does not contain the original Hyslop font. Sadly, the history is lost, just like Tintin in Congo.

@kickzillah3017 5 лет назад

Loved Tintin since I was a kid, grew up reading the books in Swedish and watching the 90s cartoon. My favorite has to be The Seven Crystal Balls; it plays out almost like a horror story with the suspense of the seven explorers getting attacked one by one, and that creepy mummy and the clairvoyant in the beginning. Also one of the few that takes place entirely in Belgium. What do you think of it?

@ftloc 5 лет назад

Kickzillah I love the Seven Crystal Balls and I completely agree with you on the creepy, eerie sense of dread that permeates it. That sequence of all the explorers in the hospital too is a wonderfully chilling one! Have you checked out my ‘My Favorite Tintin’ video on this channel, and the comments on it?

@kickzillah3017 5 лет назад

@@ftloc Your personal top 6 video, you mean? Yes I've seen it. You mention that you dislike the climax with the eclipse in Prisoners of the Sun, and I agree on that. Even Hergé admitted it was strange that a society based on the sun would have no knowledge of its cycles. I still think it's a solid adventure and a very underrated album. There's the whole thrilling part with the mysterious boat, and the train sequence, and the vivid exploration of the mountains and jungles. And of course the incredible discovery of the hidden Inca civilisation, behind the waterfall cave. In my opinion the most adventurous of all the books, it features all Tintin is about. By the way, you mentioned that you liked the inclusion of India in Tintin in Tibet. What do you think of the depiction of India in Cigars of the Pharaoh?

@ftloc 5 лет назад

@@kickzillah3017 You've just made me want to re-read Prisoners immediately! And the Maharajah-centered Cigars/Blue Lotus mentions of India were a lot more 'abstract' and removed for me than the ones in Tibet.

Indeed - the casual cruelty and violence towards animals, the pro-colonial outlook, and - most of all - the problematic and offensive-to-us depiction of Africans are all reasons why Congo is only available as a collector's item from Casterman instead of a general/new/young readership that Egmont is seeing as their audience.
