I used to love them. I'm sure you'd pick them up on amazon or somewhere else online easy enough.

i work in a city centre bookshop and we stock them in lovely hardback midway between a5 and a4 size volumes of three for €19. there are 7 vols in total i think, what with it being the xmas and all we may be temp sold out but we normally stock them. used to love them as a kid....still makes me laugh

I used to read them alot as a kid. Haven't read any of them in years.

nadir

yea, I'm a pretty big fan, I have almost all of em, some are incredibly hard to get as they stopped publishing them, they were politically 'incorrect' and unsuitable for kids ... apparently.

have a look here for online shops

Well you can still get them pretty easily in Cork city...

Ahhhhh, oul Tintin. Read a few of them in French recently. Not a bad read, quite funny. The Congo story reeked of racism. It's funny to think that kids read these years back.

I loved Tintin. Used to read him and Asterix and Obelix.

My dad has most of the Tintin books and I read them when I was younger...I loved Tompson and Thompson esp in the Moon ones. Maybe I should re-read them... Oh and did Tintin ever write ANY articles as a journalist (his alleged job) more articles seem to have been written about him.

Aye, read most of them back in the day. Classic. Must have a look round the 2nd hand section in town see if I can find any...

I can't say I ever liked them very much. Tintin was a bit of a sap. They were more adventure stories than humour which has never been my bag.

Asterix and Obelix are just godly though. I could re-read those forever.

lili

yes, i can read and read again astérix and obélix with the same pleasure.
i laugh at the same sentences like if i ever read them:)
especially astérix chez les bretons and also astérix légionnaire.

I have all the no-longer purchasable Tintins in JPG format. Not sure how legal that all is, but PM me if you want to discuss them.
