Tintin - Dossier Tintin : L'Ile noire

Of all Tintin's adventures, The Black Island has enjoyed the richest editorial history. In 1938, the original black-and-white edition was published in Le Petit Vingtième. From 1943, a color version followed, before giving way in 1966 to the current version, entirely redesigned and modernized. Of all Tintin albums, this will be the only one to have known a black-and-white version and two distinct color versions. This work allows an exciting, simultaneous reading of the three versions, in search of differences and evolutions. And for the first time, the 1938 version is presented here in an unprecedented form: nearly half of the pages are enhanced with green and red, in accordance with the original publication in Le Petit Vingtième. A complete explanatory dossier, the thirty-two covers of Le Petit Vingtième, as well as numerous illustrations taken from Cœurs Vaillants and Journal Tintin, complete this exceptional Tintin Dossier. Fate also has it that the number of pages in the black-and-white edition of The Black Island is 124 pages, precisely double the 62 pages of the color versions. The layout of the pages here is therefore perfectly suited for reading: the two black-and-white pre-publication pages, facing each other, on the top page; the exactly corresponding pages from both color versions, facing each other, on the bottom page. Format 30 x 37.5 cm weight: about 1.600 kg Careful sending and protection via Mondial Relay with insurance (relay point to be indicated in the message), otherwise by Colissimo.
