The Seven Crystal Balls

Author /Illustrator: Herge

Ah, Tintin! I almost hate reading him in english because I always read him in french class and somehow Capitain Haddock's curses just sounded better. Also, the dog's name is Milou, not Snowy.

Apart from the choice of language, I love these books. The use of colour, clean lines and very full pages. Great characters with ample quirks, adventure, gunshots, travel, mysteries and never a lack of money or bravery. There's so much detail and so many things to learn about drawing a graphic novel contained in any one episode.
