spiff11 's review for:

Tintin and Alph-Art by Hergé
3.5

Melancholic not because of the story itself, which at least seemed like it was going to interesting places without having to rely on racial stereotypes, but because it will forever be unfinished.  Although I read through the Tintin adventures after an age where I can't ignore the, uh, "eurocentrism" of it all, they're nonetheless a collection of globe-trotting adventures with art as colorful as its characters.  Perhaps if I read them at a younger, more impressionable age, they would have inspired many a boyhood fantasy.
