77 years after its launch, Journal Tintin remains one of the pillars of Belgian-French comics! Because, yes, young French people had to wait a few more years to experience the joys of adventure from the ages of 7 to 77. And while the “French version” of the newspaper bore a striking resemblance to its elder sibling, it also featured a number of previously unpublished pages produced exclusively for it. This sumptuous 777-page collection, with commentary, serves them justice!

Tome 6 – 1968-1972
This complete series marks an important turning point for Tif et Tondu, as Maurice Tillieux takes over the series’ script after the departure of Maurice Rosy.
