This is a 23-25 with a bit of freelance restoration, not a 26-27. The windscreen is mounted on the drip rail and its arms do not reach beyond the hinges (and the windscreen itself is not slightly bowed) -- Last edit: 2026-09-21 19:44:22 |

Fun fact: I never realized Tintin's Ford T in the Congo magically switched from a 23 to a 26-27: Link to "i.pinimg.com" Link to "www.zwischengas.com" |

I've read that story only once. Meanwhile I read Tintin in the Land of the Soviets over and over as it was the first Tintin album I owned. |

Yeah, it's not the prettiest  Did they make the Africans speak in Pidgin in Norwegian as well? I mean, it's bad enough that it's overtly racist, why go the extra mile to make them sound like idiots? The German edition being from 1997 no less when such depictions were long overhauled. And because that still wasn't enough, any tiny bits of respect Herge had for African culture were eliminated in favor of flat unfunny puns (the witch doctor is called "Tse Tse Gabor," in German, I think that speaks volumes. They also called the tribe chief "Rumaroma" and his tribe the "Tchibos," after a brand of coffee)Spirou's African adventures (Goldmines and Gorillas, Operation Rhino, not you Tembo Tambou) almost seem tame in comparison. The Broken Ear and Flight 714 (yes really) were always my favorite, partially because they were the first I had as standalone comics (I was mostly introduced to the series through the smaller 3-in-1 books) -- Last edit: 2026-09-21 20:34:29 |

I don't own the Norwegian version of Congo, only the English, so I wouldn't know. |

Don't forget the Gri-Gri of Niokolo-Koba - I don't know where you stand on Fournier, but I think his stories are among the best of the series (if you can look past the stereotypes). I don't have a standout favorite Tintin album, but Flight 714 and Tintin in Tibet are exceptional. |

Genuinely my favorite Spirou album. That was from the seventies though, so it doesn't count (I believe the reason why Tembo tambou took about 15 years to publish in album form is because its publishing in Spirou magazine coincided with the onset of the Civil Rights movement and decolonization, and Franquin, pacifist and progressivist as he was, shelved it until the situation in Africa and the US had more or less normalized) -- Last edit: 2026-09-22 14:26:34 |
