Read This: "The Adventures of Tintin"

I was never much of a comic book kid. I had nothing against them, I just never really read them or bought them. Occasionally I would pick one up when I visited family in small-town Massachusetts at a "penny candy" store that had been there since my mom was a kid. And really, that was for the novelty of the whole thing-there's nothing quite like the feel, look, even smell of an aged comic book.

There is one series, though, that was a staple of my childhood and something I will always love: Hergé's "The Adventures of Tintin".
