Tintin comic The Secret of the Unicorn double album hardcover Hergé

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This comic book is a hardcover album from the "The Adventures of Tintin" series created by Hergé. The visible cover features the title "The Secret of the Unicorn" in large print, accompanied by the words "ALBUM DOUBLE" in a white box. The jacket has a bright yellow background framed in blue, characteristic of modern Tintin editions, with the famous round medallion depicting Tintin and Snowy in the upper left corner.

The main visual shows a bearded character armed with a saber (Captain Haddock), Tintin, Snowy, and a painting with a character in period costume, as well as a large central illustration of a three-masted ship on the open sea, the Unicorn. The colors are bold, and the typography is true to the graphic identity of the series.

The spine and cover are hardback, with no indication of a removable dust jacket. No major structural defects are visible on the displayed side, apart from slight signs of wear on the upper edge and some superficial micro-scratches on the glossy surface, typical of an album that has been carefully handled but is still pre-owned.

The legible inscriptions on the cover are: "Hergé", "The Adventures of Tintin", "The Secret of the Unicorn" and "Double Album". No other text or edition number appears on the visible side. The illustration remains clear and the colors well preserved.

This "double album" format is specific to certain reissues, allowing two adventures to be grouped together or enriched content to be offered. The visible solidity of the hardcover binding suggests an album designed to last, typical of recent or semi-recent editions of the Tintin series.
