A chuffing mystery in 'The Secret of the Unicorn' descends into delightful goofs in 'Red Rackham's Treasure'. Hergé's really hit his stride.
I had fun with Tintin as he searched for the lost treasure. It was great to see how the logic played out following the story to its conclusion - which for me makes total sense as why would someone who had been marooned on an island not take it with them!!
If you like Indiana Jones then have a read. The art is very much keeping for the 40s and I admit I love that style and the amount of research that went into making the world feel very plausible.

This volume continues where the last one left: Tintin and his group search for the Licorne, with the help of a new character - Professor Tournesol. This is a more adventure focused story, and while a few jokes feel a bit overused, it's still a fun book.
It's a bit of a letdown following "Secret Of The Unicorn," but still really good; and it introduces Prof. Calculus!

Along with "Secret of the Unicorn", this is my favorite Tintin book. I love the art, as well as the humor (and history lessons!) that often went over my head as a child but that I pick up on now and chuckle over to no end. A great continuation of the story from SotU.
