Tintin large format paperback collection

[krishner]

15 Tintin large format paperbacks 1978/1979 era. Still in excellent condition. No missing/damaged/loose pages. The print quality formt he 70s reprints was excellent using matt finishes to give the feeling of the original hand painted plates. Some of the books have the single image full plate print that marked Herge out as a bande dessine pioneer. The later reprints do not have this element as cheaper inks, poorer quality paper and smaller sizes came into play.

The collection is almost complete with 14 of the 20 stories present. There is also included the 'film book' pressing 'Tintin and the Lake of Sharks' based on the 1972 animated film (now out of print.)
