The Tintin Comics

These are the Tintin series of comics. I don't think that it's all of them, but it's most. The comics follow the adventures of a world-famous reporter called Tintin, his dog Snowy, and his friends Captain Haddock, an alcohol addicted sea captain, Professor Calculus, an almost deaf genius, and the two detectives, Thompson and Tomson, who are very clumsy, totally identical, and who's favorite saying is "to be precise..." These characters were created by Herge, an Austrian? author. The first comic was called "Tintin and the Soviets" to make fun of the Soviet Union. Although in this series, the first comic is "Tintin in America," in which Tintin is trying to capture Chicago's most notorious gangster, Al Capone. The comics are very lively and adventerous, anyone who likes mystery should try reading them.
