Tintin GIANT Facsimile Editions: A Quick Look! 

Fantastic channel! Very informative and articulate! I'll be looking forward to further future content! Thank you!

This has instantly become one of my favourite channels on RU-vid. It’s so refreshing/pleasant to find others with the same taste in comics as myself and people who love them as much as I do. Keep up the great work, Sir! Really looking forward to seeing this content continue as your channel grows 🙏🏼

First of all - sorry for the typo in the title card! Second, I don’t think these books were ever redrawn like the earlier ones were, and they were originally published in colour. So a comparison between editions comes down to the production for the most, hence the short video! I’d be interested in if you, the viewers, like these tiny videos, prefer the longer and more detailed ones, or would enjoy both! All comments welcome!

When I watch your channel, which I love, I feel overwhelmed with information sometimes. I need comic relief. Coming from a place of love.

This is the Video that made me subscribed For the Love of Comics' This is the only place, where I found such a clear and vivid idea about this GIANT editions. Thank you very much Sir.

With regards to your question, both the shorter videos and longer explanations have their place in my opinion and being able to have a mixture of both, could be the most effective option 😁

OMG! How did I not know about the giant facsimiles until today?! Equally baffling, why has the publisher not come up with more volumes? The Moon story and the Inca story double-volumes will lend themselves excellently to this format. I am drooling at the mere thought :-)

I bought my first Tintin's in the 1970s when I was a child (a spanish-language edition) and the "large" albums were the regular albums. The small versions came much later, perhaps in the 1990s

Having read all the Tintin's over the years from various UK printings it's a surprise to me that the backgrounds are watercolour-like in the facsimile editions. I had assumed that maybe we were getting bad reproductions and that the original colours were flat colour - but very happy to be proved wrong! : D

I look forward to your reviews of the regular-sized colour facsimiles sometime (relatively unchanged ones such as The Broken Ear and King Ottokar's Sceptre). Are those fascimiles similarly good for the muted colour palette and the book quality? Would you say they're worth chasing for someone who has the common standard editions of these adventures?

Thank you so much for these tintin info because of you I bought the ficsimile gaints , ficsimile tiny box set , ficsimile black and white (5 of them in english) young redears tintin edition ( all set ) , tintin travel diaries ( all set) and the making of tintin ( all 4 books ) but I need your help there are ficsimile color edition in english and dont know much about them , can you help me out and tell me how many titles are in facsimile color edition? thanks

I was re-watching this video, and noticed one gripe I have with all the recent Tintin facsimiles - the digital lettering. I have some of the black and white facsimiles, and they have the same problem. Amidst the impressively faithful replication of the original art, this new digital lettering really stands out, and it made me question whether the publishers can truthfully call these facsimiles. It actually put me off getting the Blue Lotus B&W facsimile in the same haul (the stark difference in art being enough to distract me from the text in the others, but not so much in the Blue Lotus.) For the B&Ws, I wish they had retained the lettering style used in Egmont's edition of Soviets, and for the colour facsimiles, I wish they had stuck to the Hyslop hand-lettering that they used for decades in the English colour albums. This is something that wouldn't really bother me in most cases, but Herge's books are perhaps the only ones I obsess about enough to feel "ah damn, this is 95% there but not exactly a facsimile"! :D

Are these the only two that are out at the moment or the entire series? Any book stores that you know of carry them In the United States?

Was wondering on how many of tintin stories have been released in these giant facsimile editions?

Are there "giant-facsimile" editions that are uniform for all tintin books?

does the spine have any artwork or title prints on them?

Great short video. Thank you! I didn't know this edition existed. Any recommendations on where to purchase these online?

Stupendous!

I have the Egmont compact edition box set... A more economic way to own the series... But may not satisfy those diehard fans of the artwork.

Hi Are this 2 the only giant edition? Thank you

are these only available in english?

Where can we find those giant editions?

What is a "Facsimile" edition?

Where do you got the little brown hardcover where can I find it in america

Is it really a facsimile if they murdered the font??? If its not Hyslop it's not a facsimile!

I'd love to ask you - have you notived how the SOTU story doesn't really make sense?The bird brothers kidnap tintin with no real reason, max bird has had his wallet nicked, and there's no reason to suspect tintin. Also, they get the facts wrong, they say "the night we ransacked your flat, only the 3rd was found, in your wallet". But tintin doesn't get his wallet nicked until the next day, it clearly say "The next day". What on earth was going on?Invasions from the Germans?
