Tintin in the Congo is the second Tintin adventure, originally serialised in Belgium in 1930â1931. The English-language colour edition has had a limited and complex publishing history, making it consistently scarce and in demand in the secondhand market â described as rare and out of print by specialist booksellers. Egmont's edition includes a foreword acknowledging the book's colonial-era portrayal of Africa as a product of its time. An essential volume for Tintin collectors completing the full series of 24 adventures.
