Red Rackham's Treasure: The Official Classic Children’s Illustrated Mystery Adventure Series (The Adventures of Tintin)

Product Information

Oliveira de Figueira is the form used by Hergé in the later appearances of this character. He is named Oliveira da Figueira (lit. "Olive-tree of the Fig-tree") in his initial appearances. For The Red Sea Sharks Hergé changed his name to Oliveira de Figueira. (Both spellings are correct in Portuguese: "de" means "of", while "da" means "of the".) Ridgewell did bring some of Western civilisation to the Native South Americans, such as introducing them to the game of golf. However, the players do not appear to have mastered it well—on one occasion hitting Tintin rather than the hole in the ground. Max Bird, the villain of the previous story, is mentioned to have escaped from prison. Thomson and Thompson suspect that the man is seeking revenge and could be hiding aboard the treasure-hunters' ship, which convinces the two officers to volunteer their services. By the time the story concludes, there is nothing to indicate that Max was ever aboard the ship — or even near it. The Thom(p)sons claim he was "discouraged by their presence," but in reality, that plot point was most likely just an excuse to get Thomson and Thompson into the story in the first place. Max never appears in any later albums, either, and his fate is never resolved. In reality, there is no place in India called Gaipajama; the name is a nonsensical mix of two Hindi words: Gai (cow) and pajama. [35] Lavery, Brian (2003).

The Bird Brothers appear in The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of The Unicorn (Video Game Console Version). In the game, they are appear only in Marlinspike. 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. King Muskar XII and his country do not appear to have been based on definitive models; both were inspired by various Eastern European and Balkan states. [37] Many of these states were monarchies ruled by Carol II of Romania, Zog I of Albania, Alexander I of Yugoslavia, and Boris III of Bulgaria. The king's costumes may have been inspired by the portrait of Spanish King Alfonso XIII [38] and the Romanian prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza. The king bears a striking resemblance to Zog of Albania, a man who also carried a gun and confronted violent conspiracies. He is sometimes shown wearing a military uniform, holding the rank of Colonel of the Royal Guards. The king's military service is similar to members of other real European royal families, who have members that have served in their nation's militaries. The entire trial transcript is available in the book The Pirate Trial of Anne Bonny and Mary Read by Tamara J. Eastman and Constance Bond Bunji Kuraki is a Japanese detective of the Yokohama police force appearing in The Crab with the Golden Claws. He was investigating a powerful gang of drug smugglers in the Far East and followed their trail to Europe, but was kidnapped from the street outside Tintin's flat before he could warn him. He was finally able to meet Tintin at the end of the adventure after he had been freed by police.The character Al Capone is based on the real-life Al Capone of Chicago. Al Capone was alive in 1931 when Hergé depicted him in his comics. [6] It would be the last real-life individual to appear as a character in the Adventures under their real name. Larry Harmon as Tintin, Professor Calculus ( Objective Moon and The Crab With the Golden Claws) [1] In the original French, the name of the butcher's shop Boucherie Sanzot is a pun. Sanzot sounds like sans os, which means "without bones". The English translation uses Cutts to make a different pun. [31] Cutts also appeared in a French TV ad for cooking oil with Professor Calculus in 1979. [32] Lieutenant Delcourt [ edit ]

Pablo returned in Tintin and the Picaros, where he appeared to help Tintin and his friends escape their current captivity, but really putting them in a position where they could be shot while trying to escape. When Tintin discovered his treachery, he allowed Pablo to go free, as he remembered Pablo once saved his life. An eccentric, hard-of-hearing inventor named Professor Cuthbert Calculus offers to aid them with the use of his shark-shaped one-man submarine, but they decline his assistance. Also, he neither appeared in Tintin and Alph-Art, nor was he supposed to appear, but in Rodier's version of Tintin and Alph-Art, Allan quit his life as a mariner and became a mailman in the mainland United States. At some point, Rastapopoulos attempted to reach out to Allan and offer him a job, but Allan refused to return to the criminal empire. In another completed version of that unfinished comic by a writer using the pseudonym Ramó Nash, Allan is again portrayed as an associate of Rastapopoulos. Max Bird, one of the Bird brothers of The Secret of the Unicorn, was mentioned in this comic book. He was supposed to return along his brother Gustav Bird in the unfinished Tintin and Alph-Art, but they never returned due Hergé's death.Hergé participates more in the development process, and supervises a lot of meetings between his collaborators (Bob De Moor and Jacques Martin) and those of Belvision.
