Tintin and Alph-Art

Initially published in French in 1983 and later in English in 1991, this sketchbook-style, unfinished work by Hergé delves into the world of modern art, a subject close to the author’s heart. The narrative weaves through a realm of counterfeit gurus and a multitude of intriguing female characters, offering a fascinating adventure. The tale concludes with a heart-rendering cliff hanger: will Snowy rescue Tintin, or will a tempting bone distract him?
