Tintin comic The Cigars of the Pharaoh double hardback album

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This comic book features the famous Tintin adventure, "Cigars of the Pharaoh," signed by Hergé. The album is presented here in a hardcover edition, recognizable by its bright yellow frame and the medallion logo of Tintin and Snowy in the upper left corner. The cover illustration shows Tintin and Snowy exploring a room filled with sarcophagi, in a detailed Egyptian setting, typical of Hergé's clear line style. The title "Cigars of the Pharaoh" appears in black letters on a cream background, clearly legible, just below the mention "The Adventures of Tintin."

The mention "ALBUM DOUBLE" is at the bottom of the cover, indicating a special edition usually grouping two adventures or enriched content, although only the main title is visible in the photo. The cover surface has a glossy finish, perceptible by the reflections visible in the image, and the book appears to be in good general condition with sharp corners and a straight spine.

The colors are vibrant, with dominant yellow around the edges, blue, ochre, and a variety of shades used to represent the characters and setting. The overall appearance is typical of modern or recent Tintin editions, with clear printing and well-preserved details on the visible side.

The following inscriptions are also visible on the cover: "HERGÉ" at the top, and labels on some sarcophagi, faithful to the original iconography of this adventure. No other title or content is visible on this side; the back, spine, and interior of the album are not shown.

The observed format corresponds to a classic Franco-Belgian comic strip hardcover album, with no precise dimensions mentioned in the image or keywords.

Condition

Used book, sold as is. The visible cover is in good general condition, with slight superficial signs of use (some reflections and micro-scratches on the glossy surface), without tears or apparent inscriptions.

Did you know? "Cigars of the Pharaoh" is Tintin's fourth adventure, originally published in 1934. This album marks the beginning of a narrative arc that continues in "The Blue Lotus" and introduces key characters of the series, such as detectives Thomson and Thompson.
