The Adventures of Tintin:The Black Island

The Black Island comic book is a story of a money counterfeiting ring in Scotland, written by Hergé and first published in 1938. The Black Island is an exciting and very funny tale of intrigue in which a gang of international forgers leads Tintin to the Scottish town of Kiltoch, where a dreaded beast is rumored to live. Along the way, Tintin is framed and has to dodge the pursuit of his old detective friends Thompson and Thomson. He also meets Dr. Müller, who would return in Land of Black Gold. The Black Island is one of the earlier Tintin adventures comics, first appearing in Le Petit Vingtieme Comics magazine in 1937 and 1938, but it was revised and redrawn in 1966, which is why it has the more mature look of Herge's later comics work. The Black Island is the seventh volume of The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Commissioned by Le Vingtième Siècle Comics Magazine for its children's supplement Le Petit Vingtième, it was serialised weekly in the Tin tin comic magazine from April to November 1937. The story tells of young Belgian reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy, who travel to England in pursuit of a gang of counterfeiters. Framed for theft and hunted by detectives Thomson and Thompson, Tintin follows the criminals to Scotland, discovering their lair on the Black Island.
