A review by blueyorkie
Le Sceptre d'Ottokar by Hergé

4.0

In this adventure, Tintin will escape on each page from plane crashes, roll into ravines, and be stunned several times. But it will solve a far-fetched enigma and save the local king.
But the most important is the Syldavians' borders, in these mountainous states of a not-so-distant Europe, with its mafias, wrens, crooks, and usurpers.
The scenario is compelling, and the drawing is tasty, especially when it launches into local history. The landscapes are superb! A book to look in.
