TinTin in the Congo
PDF | 23.2 MB | English
Tintin in the Congo (in the original French, Tintin au Congo) is the second title in the comic book series The Adventures of Tintin, written and drawn by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Originally serialised in the Belgian children's newspaper supplement, Le Petit Vingtième between June 1930 and July 1931, it was subsequently first published in book form later that year.
Hergé would later redraw and colour the work for a new edition in 1946, and then made alterations for a further edition in 1975. Originally commissioned by Hergé's boss, the Abbé Norbert Wallez, who ran the right wing Roman Catholic weekly newspaper, Le XXe Siècle, it was designed to encourage children to learn more about what Wallez felt were the positive aspects of the Belgian occupation of the Congo.
