The publishers have, very thoughtfully, supplied a printed version of the story in English which makes it all much easier to follow, I hadn't realised to what extent, the English versions of his series have been anglicised to make it easier for English readers.

But that was quite fascinating in itself for it clearly shows the way that Herge approached the task of putting a Tintin book together. There story is well developed, compact and action filled. Some fo the comic strips ae there merest of routines..though still with the unmistakable visage of Tintin . And some are reasonably finished to the pencil stage.
