    In the Land of the Soviets

    Welcome to Totally Tintin. This week we begin at the beginning and take a look at Hergé’s most unusual book The Adventures of Tintin Reporter for “Le Petit Vingtième ” in the Land of the Soviets. There is no other book quite like it in the canon, but its rambunctious joie de vivre is enough to get past the rough art and the possibly rougher story.
