Descripción

“America … had been close to my heart for a long time.” –Hergé

Tintin's reputation as a reporter reaches across the Atlantic ocean. So, when he arrives in Chicago during the Prohibition era, the local gangsters and criminals prepare an unfriendly welcome. Tintin will have to use all of his courage and intelligence to survive! In this story, Hergé wanted to show the flaws of western capitalism, but he deviated from his initial plan by taking interest in the lives of Native Americans, who he had encountered only through books, early Western movies and, primarily, his time as a boy scout.

Tintin, perhaps one of the most famous cartoon heroes of all time, is as much a child of the 20th century as his creator, Georges Remi—aka Hergé (1907-1983). Tintin's adventures, marked by his inquisitiveness, sense of mystery and witty humour, are deeply rooted in the events of that tumultuous era.
