The Shooting Star - "It's the END of the WORLD!" declares Professor Phostle, as an enormous star hurtles towards the earth. But he is disappointed - the star brushes past, leaving only a vast meteorite which falls in the Arctic waters. However, there is no mistake about the Professor's discovery of a valuable new metal in the meteorite; it is worth a colossal fortune, and in a hazardous search in polar regions Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock encounter some of their strangest adventures.
The Secret of the Unicorn - When Tintin finds an old model sailing ship and gives it as a present to Captain Haddock, an exciting adventure quickly develops. From an ancient diary they learn the story of the of the ship, the Unicorn—a story of cut-throat pirates and lost treasure. Helped by their detective friends Thomson and Thompson, Tintin, Snowy, and the Captain set out to uncover the secret of the Unicorn.
Tintin was created in 1929 by the Belgian cartoonist Hergé, then aged just 21, for a weekly children's newspaper supplement. Tintin is a young reporter, aided in his adventures by his faithful fox terrier dog Snowy (Milou in French). In Tintin, Hergé created a hero who embodied human qualities and virtues, without any faults. The Adventures of Tintin is one of the most popular comics series of the twentieth century, with translations published in over 80 languages, and more than 230 million copies of the books sold worldwide.
