This volume also includes the unfinished Tintin and Alph-Art, a fascinating insight into Herge's creative process. \n \n \n Flight 714 to Sydney \n \n \n Tintin, Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus are on their way to Sydney, Australia. Through a chance meeting they are invited to travel on board the private jet of billionaire Lazlo Carreidas. But then they fall victim to a plot to kidnap Carreidas and are captured by Tintin's arch enemy Rastapopoulos. \n \n \n Tintin and the Picaros \n \n \n Bianca Castafiore has been imprisoned by General Tapioca!

The book is set in the world of contemporary art. The narration itself is in the course of evolution. I am still doing my research and I honestly don't know where this story will lead me. Sadly, the tale was never completed, but this unique book gives an insight into the work Herge had done on the project before he died. At the end, Tintin is about to be cast into a living sculpture by a mysterious enemy - one last cliffhanger for the world's best-loved boy journalist. \n \n \n Join the most iconic character in comics as he embarks on an extraordinary adventures spanning historical and political events, and thrilling mysteries. \n \n \n Still selling over 100,000 copies every year in the UK and having been adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spi
