Review: Coup and Countercoup... - 1976's "Tintin and the Picaros" was Belgian artist Herge's last finished adventure story starring his famous cartoon character Tintin, a young journalist. This adventure is notable in bringing together many of the recurring characters of the Tintin series, and in finally getting Tintin into conventional long pants. As the story opens, Tintin and his seafaring friend Captain Haddock are shocked to find that Bianca Castafiore, the prima dona opera singer of earlier adventures, has been arrested in the Latin American country of San Theodoros. Shortly thereafter, Tintin, Captain Haddock, and Professor Calculus are publicly accused of conspiring with Castafiore against General Tapioca, the current San Theodoros dictator. The three are invited by General Tapioca to come to San Theodoros to clear their names. Thus begins a exciting story of plot and counterplot. Tintin and his friends will discover that an old enemy from "The Calculus Affair" is behind the machinations in San Theodoros, where a deadly trap has been set for them. Escaping the trap, and rescuing Castafiore, will require the assistance of another old friend from "The Seven Crystal Balls." An amusing subplot finds Captain Haddock mysteriously unable to consume his favorite whiskey. "Tintin and the Picaros" features the distincive artwork and adventurous detailed story for which Herge was rightly famous. This book is very highly recommended to Tintin fans of all ages. Review: Amazing work, a must read - A true work of art. The characters are at their most fully formed and tension and hilarity abound. Calculus and an imprisoned Bianca castafiore deliver some of the funniest scenes in any tintin book. The commentary on the futility of regime change is prescient, depressing and humorous all at once. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,082,837 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 805 Reviews | ## Images ![Tintin and the Picaros (The Adventures of Tintin) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91I1l6qxz9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coup and Countercoup... *by H***E on February 15, 2009* 1976's "Tintin and the Picaros" was Belgian artist Herge's last finished adventure story starring his famous cartoon character Tintin, a young journalist.
