Description

Hardcover comic book, published by Casterman, titled "El' trésor du Rouche Rackham". This is an adaptation in the regional Ch'ti language of the famous album "Red Rackham's Treasure" from The Adventures of Tintin, based on Hergé. The cover features an iconic illustration: Tintin and Captain Haddock aboard the shark submarine, surrounded by fish and underwater vegetation, against a blue-green background. The title is inscribed in yellow on an aged banner, with "Les avintures de Tintin" at the top. The mention "casterman" appears at the bottom of the cover, confirming the official publisher.

A red sticker at the top right states: "TINTIN EN CH'TI – NOUVEL ALBUM LEXIQUE INCLUS" (TINTIN IN CH'TI – NEW ALBUM LEXICON INCLUDED), indicating the originality of this edition and the presence of a lexicon to facilitate reading in Ch'ti. The spine of the album is bright orange, providing a touch of contrast with the dominant blue of the cover. The overall condition of the visible side shows a glossy surface, with no major apparent defects, no tears, and no visible stains on the cover.

The cover illustration, faithful to Hergé's graphic style, features the famous shark-shaped submarine, an iconic element of the original album, with particular attention to marine details and the expressiveness of the characters. The colors are vibrant and contrasted, typical of contemporary Tintin editions. The lettering in Ch'ti adds a unique regional touch, making this work singular in the collection of adapted Tintin albums.

This book is a special edition published in 2005, as indicated by the keywords. It is intended for any French-speaking comic book enthusiast interested in linguistic adaptations, or those who wish to discover Tintin from a regional perspective. The hardcover format and Casterman print quality ensure good durability for the album.
