It is sobering and mildly depressing to realize that my enjoyment of Tintin is hampered by the fact that I don't actually like Captain Haddock.

My favorite growing up was The Crab with the Golden Claws (which holds up moderately well, all things considered). What is (or was) yours?

I think my favorite when I was kid was "The Mysterious Island", mostly because it was the first one I'd read. These days it would be Destination Moon/Explorers on the Moon, which I love for despite the atomic spaceship with the Purina paint job and outdated selenology.

It's not so much the Purina paint-job as the lack of staged rockets that bugs me about the ship. But yeah, that's a good story.
