Tintin: Flight 714
by Hergé (Methuen, 1968) [first published in Tintin Magazine, 1966-1967]
More so than any of the twenty-one Tintin stories that preceded it, Flight 714 is divorced from a contemporary historical setting. Though seeking (supernatural) isolation, it retains Hergé’s boundless sense of adventure, his exquisite characterisation and his incomparable, most vividly depicted humour.
