I like this one more than all it's predecessor, the adventure is not laid back- it's a race of who reaches the metiorite first! The giant species on top of the metiorite reminded me of the sci-fis of professor Shanku by Satyajit Roy.

Vermakelijk zo mag je dit boek zeker noemen. Bobby spreekt niet meer en Kapitein Haddock neemt een meer prominente plek in het leven van Kuifje. Surrealistische elementen maken een eerste intrede in Kuifjes leven.
De eerste paar prenten spreken mijn fascinatie voor de ruimte enorm aan. Later vind het boek geen weg meer naar begeesterende plaatjes. De enorme appels die uit de lucht komen gevallen zijn wel een verademing voor het Kuifjegenre.
Verder heeft dit boek een groot potentieel maar lost dat met een repetitief midden niet in. Ook de uiteindelijke vondst blijft voor mij aan de oppervlakte en vliegt niet naar mars.

My first Tintin book! Surely not my last though, after the innocent fun and adventure I witnessed here. It's funny that I never liked the "clean line" art style of Hergé growing up. It was the same with Asterix and Obelix, and you always had the danger that the words would all be in French too. No, I stuck with the Beano and it served me well.
Now though I find the art's simple style very endearing. I also like how Snowy the dog and Tintin are always talking to each other, even though they can't understand each other (Kirsty pointed out the similarity to Seinfeld here). Captain Haddock made me laugh, being the sneakily alcoholic head of the Society of Sober Sailors. Best of all though, I loved the adventure. It really felt like we were on board for some mystery and fun.
The plot is relatively simple. Tintin observes an extra star in Ursa Major and runs to the observatory. It is deemed by the boffins to be a shooting star containing a never-before-seen metal, and an expedition to its Arctic landing zone is launched. Malevolent forces are against them though, as a nefarious profiteer is out to claim it first! Wound around all this intrigue are some japes and larks, with the ever-capable straight man Tintin being backed up by Snowy and Captain Haddock.
Kirsty got me this for Christmas 2021!

Haddock! Adventure!
But also, antisemitic tropes :(

Un tome plutôt amusant à lire avec du suspense et des personnages secondaires qui apportent de la folie et du rire à l'aventure. Le capitaine Haddock et le scientifique fou réussissent à debrider l'ambiance. La course à la découverte est chouette à suivre même si on s'essouffle un peu sur la fin.
