| Summary |
In this, the second Tintin story, the young reporter travels to Africa, unearthing a criminal diamond smuggling operation run by the American gangster Al Capone. In his portrayal of the Belgian Congo, Herge reflects the colonial attitudes of the time, depicting the African people according to the bourgeois, paternalistic stereotypes of the period. |
