Tintin books are a great introduction to reading for boys who prefer to play video games or sport ahead of reading a book. The original graphic novels (first published in 1929), Tintin books are full of adventure and while high on illustration and low on word count, the vocabulary is still sophisticated, as are the concepts introduced.
Tintin is a classic series that also has a large adult following. The stories are engaging, the artwork retro, and with whispers of the Tintin movie FINALLY being finished, 2010 looks to be a big year for Belgium's most famous boy reporter!
