Many of us grew up with these comics, created by Belgian cartoonist Hergé way back in 1929 and now a worldwide, multiple language comic phenomenon.
Reprinted many times over the years, the animation remains true to the originals but of course the text has been translated to English in this version (originally French)
This story appears to have been first published in 1944
Tintin and the Thomsons accompany Captain Haddock on a journey in the footsteps of the Captain's illustrious ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock. The parchments discovered in the previous adventure are in fact a treasure map pointing the way to the hidden gold and jewels of a notorious pirate, Red Rackham.
A new character, named Professor Cuthbert Calculus, will prove invaluable in the search for the lost treasure and by the end of the adventure Calculus will also help Captain Haddock to acquire his family's ancestral home, Marlinspike Hall.
This story is full of twists, turns and surprises
