"The Adventures of Tintin: The Broken Ear," a first edition published by Methuen in 1975, exemplifies Hergé’s artistry, chronicling Tintin’s quest through a fictional South American realm to recover a stolen tribal fetish. This copy, bearing a name inscription on the title page (see image), remains free of foxing or toning to contents and edges. The lightly creased covers, near very good, exhibit general wear, yet the spine retains its unfaded vibrancy. A testament to Hergé’s narrative finesse, this volume commands attention as a collector’s piece of 1970s comic heritage.
