Travelling With Tintin

Michael Berger bio ↓  ·  October 21st, 2010  ·  filed under books

Although I didn’t read them as a kid, I love the idea that Tintin comics, in the era before television, could act as travelogues for people curious about the world — and that they were pretty accurate, most of the time, in their visual depictions of other places and cultures.

You can even base your own travels around Tintin’s.

People should start adventure clubs where they base their journeys around those of real or imagined adventurers. For starters: Graham Greene.
