The Black Island (Tintin) - Young Readers Edition

'The Black Island' is perhaps the greatest Tintin adventure. I love all the other Tintin stories passionately, but this one in particular, is perhaps my favorite among my favorites.

Here Tintin flies an airplane, sails a boat, fights with "wild beasts" beats the bad guys, and even wears a kilt. But this book is special for far more reasons. The landscape scenes around Tintin are superb, the drawing is great, and the plot, sublime. The suspense is incredible, too. No one will take him to the Black Island. Even though everyone is scared out of their minds, Tintin decides to go, risking everything...

But how many of us read "This" Tintin Book?

This new format, crafted specifically for younger readers, features the original Tintin graphic novel plus 20 pages of bonus material content. The "behind the scenes" contains the true story about people, places and antiquities that Hergé drew from, filled with fun facts, lots of cool pictures, and easy-to-read text!

So, what are you waiting for? If you are a true Tintin fan, go ahead and start reading Now (see the download link at bottom) !
