Customer Review:
When you've read and re-read all Tintins, try . . .
For those who always wondered who the boy, girl and chimp are in the back of the Tintin books, wonder no longer. They are Jo & Zette Legrand, and their chimp Jocko -- the smartest chimp in the world. This volume, the first of a two-part story, deals with multi-millionaire industrialist Mr. Pump who offers ten million dollars to whomever can create an airplane capable of fllying from Paris to New York at 1000 km an hour. Jo and Zette's father has invented such a plane. To keep it out of the hands of gansters who threaten to destroy the craft, the childern and Jocko take off in the aircraft, eventually landing in a deserted island. There are some very charming things to this story (the 1930's very modern and efficient, rush-rush world of Mr. Pump reminded me of Tati's film Mon Onlce). This is not Tintin, though. Although quite charming and entertaining, it does not have the kind of high adventure and memorable characters found in the better examples of the Tintin series. The characters are much more two dimensional and comical. In some ways it felt reminiscent of Tintin en Amerique, though with better line work. The layouts and panel designs, too, are more static and repetitious than even some Tintins of this era (e.g. Lotus Bleu, Cigars) -- at least in the redesigned versions. On the whole, though, this is an enjoyable series, which will entertain most children and appeal to adult fans of Tintin.
