I feel I am a tintin addict....
When I was 12 yrs old I received my first tintin comic book, It was named The Broken Ear. After reading and enjoying that comic book I was fascinated ( been just discovered there is something like a comic book for myself at that age) by the many other tintin books titles I saw behind the cover.
4 years later, I bought them all by the age of 16, I had all the titles of titin books, seen a few videos too.
My whole collection was given away ( incidentally by my mother) to a friend at age 21.
But fear not, dear old me at age 28 ( this year) I bought all the titles again, ( from my own dotcom site, LOL) built up my memories and still sometimes when I am free I still do enjoy reading the same books and if I may add so I still watch tintin videos at 12:30 midnight on cartoon network. So I say I am a tintin freak !!!!
Well for all those who came in late, TINTIN, I feel is the best gift a child can get and for the above 20s its not too late to start reading what you missed . :)
The story lines are very explorative and very interesting, also a very depictive picture book !!
