This isn't the book I'm reading for the book club, but we just went to see the movie yesterday and my husband has all of the original comic books! I never read these when I was a kid; never even heard of it until I saw my husband's collection. Have any of you read them before? The movie was entertaining and the animation was AMAZING! The movie was based on three of the comics: The Crab With the Golden Claws, Red Rackham's Treasure, and The Secret of the Unicorn. Like most comic books, they're sort of a social commentary - there are some stereotypical racial references and lots of east vs. west cold war stuff, but they're still fun to read. If I knew more about history, I'd probably get more out of them. :)
Read them all many years ago -- very different from most comic books. Will probably see the movie.
ReplyDeleteI used to read these to the little boys I babysat for. I love Tin Tin's little dog Snowy!
