Ah, Tintin!

Wait for me!

Bravo, Mr Tintin.

Professor Calculus and Professor

Zalamea have disappeared.

They must have been taken

by a rival gang.

What are

those two water-lilies doing here?

In any case,

we've inherited a few prisoners.

We'll make them talk.

In any event, the new abductors

are better quality than the first ones.

They didn't bother themselves

with these two great lumps.

Inspector, Estensoro will no doubt

give us further information.

In any case,

here is some material evidence.

A letter and a telegram

were intercepted.

In his room, you will find

the radio transmitter

he used to communicate

with his accomplices.

Thank you for your help, Mr Tintin,

and I'll see you tomorrow

in my office.

If you don't mind,

we'll take a statement from you.

What do you have there, Snowy?

Why, it's the cord from the head scarf

of the emissary

of Emir Sadek el Benzine.

of the emissary

of Emir Sadek el Benzine.

The Emir of Sakali and the Emir

Sadek el Benzine are the same person!

He's the kidnapper!

But where are we going now?.

Really, my dear Tintin, can't we work

a few rest breaks into our schedule?

Really, my dear Tintin, can't we work

a few rest breaks into our schedule?

Quickly, Captain,

there's not a moment to lose!

My word, it's a fine-looking boat.

Yes.

Yes.

A hundred and fifty tons.

English design.

Finally, there they are!

My word, they seem in good health,

and in good spirits!

Shhh. . . Professor! Professor!

Hey, Professor!

Oh, Tintin!

Oooh, Tintin!

But what a nice surprise!

How are you, Tintin?

And dear Captain Haddock!

And Snowy!

Well, I'm very happy

to see you all again, you know,

very happy - but I'm not alone.

Let me introduce you, gentlemen,

to Professor Antenor Zalamea.

Ah, gentlemen, I am very pleased

to make your acquaintance.

Do you know

when the boat raises anchor?

Do you know

when the boat raises anchor?

All the time, and we're here

very much against our will.

Tintin! We're going to Arabia!

Tintin! We're going to Arabia!

Yes, Arabia!

Hands up! We have to capture them.

A billion blistering barnacles!

Pure pirate stock!

Climb, climb quickly!

Faster! Faster.

Against the bulkhead.

Thundering typhoons!

You too, climb up!

Snowy, go quickly and tell Pablito!

Quick!

Privateers!

Calm down, Captain. Calm down!

You're twisting my arm,

you brand of mouthwash!

O ineffable magnificence. . .

Here are two lowly insects

that were prowling around the ship.

Your Grace can rest assured

that we will be leaving in an hour.

that we will be leaving in an hour.

We must leave these territorial

waters as soon as possible. . .

We must leave these territorial

waters as soon as possible. . .

I do not want any delays, or else. . .

To what do I owe the

pleasure of this visit?

Why, you Arab savage!

Release Cuthbert and Zalamea

immediately

and let us leave here straight away,

otherwise, we'll. . . Arrgh!

and let us leave here straight away,

otherwise, we'll. . . Arrgh!

The police have been alerted, Emir,

and I think it is very much

in your interest to let us go.

Well, I am quite devastated,

as you can see.

But setting you free

is not an option.

That is the danger of curiosity.

And now you know too much!

As for the police, I do not think

that you had the time to alert them,

As for the police, I do not think

that you had the time to alert them,

nor that they have

the audacity to arrest me.

Meanwhile, if your friend would be

so good as to calm down a little,

we will try to make your life here

as pleasant as possible.

Life is so short. . .

Iconoclast! Slave-owner!

Let us go immediately or I will. . .

ooooh!

Let us go immediately or I will. . .

ooooh!

Keep in mind that I do not like

headstrong individuals!

And yet, the strong heads

are the most amusing ones to cut off. . .

Meanwhile, sit down,

and taste the charms of the music.

Captain, this way, quick, quick!

Attention!

At ease. . .

Bravo, children!

Right. . .

Go, Captain, bravo!

Ah, bravo, Senor Tintin,

I must confess you are

a little quicker than I.

Captain, allow me to say

that your feats are worthy -

yes, truly worthy of El Cid.

Yes, I congratulate you.

Yes, I congratulate you.

But it's thanks to them

that we won the battle!

Hooray for the kids!

- Hip hip. . .

- Hooray!

Hooray!

And a few weeks later

at Marlinspike Hall. . .

And it is for this reason, Professor

Zalamea, Professor Calculus,

And it is for this reason, Professor

Zalamea, Professor Calculus,

that on behalf of humanity,

I say to you ''thank you!''

Gentlemen, I do not think it

Hergé

Georges Prosper Remi (French: [ʁəmi]; 22 May 1907 – 3 March 1983), known by the pen name Hergé ([ɛʁʒe]), was a Belgian cartoonist. He is best known for creating The Adventures of Tintin, the series of comic albums which are considered one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century. He was also responsible for two other well-known series, Quick & Flupke (1930–40) and The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko (1936–57). His works were executed in his distinct ligne claire drawing style. Born to a lower middle-class family in Etterbeek, Brussels, Hergé began his career by contributing illustrations to Scouting magazines, developing his first comic series, The Adventures of Totor, for Le Boy-Scout Belge in 1926. Working for the conservative Catholic newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle, he created The Adventures of Tintin in 1929 on the advice of its editor Norbert Wallez. Revolving around the actions of boy reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy, the series' early installments – Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, Tintin in the Congo, and Tintin in America – were designed as conservative propaganda for children. Domestically successful, after serialisation the stories were published in book form, with Hergé continuing the series and also developing both the Quick & Flupke and Jo, Zette and Jocko series for Le Vingtième Siècle. Influenced by his friend Zhang Chongren, from 1934 Hergé placed far greater emphasis on conducting background research for his stories, resulting in increased realism from The Blue Lotus onward. Following the German occupation of Belgium in 1940, Le Vingtième Siècle was closed but Hergé continued his series in Le Soir, a popular newspaper controlled by the Nazi administration. After the Allied liberation of Belgium in 1944, Le Soir was shut down and its staff – including Hergé – accused of having been collaborators. An official investigation was launched, and while no charges were brought against Hergé, in subsequent years he repeatedly faced accusations of having been a traitor and collaborator. With Raymond Leblanc he established Tintin magazine in 1946, through which he serialised new Adventures of Tintin stories. As the magazine's artistic director, he also oversaw the publication of other successful comics series, such as Edgar P. Jacobs' Blake and Mortimer. In 1950 he established Studios Hergé as a team to aid him in his ongoing projects; prominent staff members Jacques Martin and Bob de Moor greatly contributed to subsequent volumes of The Adventures of Tintin. Amid personal turmoil following the collapse of his first marriage, he produced Tintin in Tibet, his personal favourite of his works. In later years he became less prolific, and unsuccessfully attempted to establish himself as an abstract artist. Hergé's works have been widely acclaimed for their clarity of draughtsmanship and meticulous, well-researched plots. They have been the source of a wide range of adaptations, in theatre, radio, television, cinema, and computer gaming. He remains a strong influence on the comic book medium, particularly in Europe. Widely celebrated in Belgium, a Hergé Museum was established in Louvain-la-Neuve in 2009. more…
