Tintin and the King Ottokars Sceptre | Herge

pick

Hergé got back on form with this one. You could read this book twice: Once to read the story and again to just admire how every single panel is superbly created. Hergé‘s art is never still. From the smallest of gestures to people walking, running, falling or jumping, the characters seem alive. I think the stories go from strength to strength now, with two of my favourites coming up in a row.

Was at a bit of a loss for books where a plane crash occurs ... even a metaphorical or symbolic plane crash, if that makes sense (probably not) 🤔 Thankfully, Tintin to the rescue!
