This is the true first English language edition of a Tintin book, known as the "holy grail" among Tintin collectors. Published in Great Britain for a very brief period in 1952 by Belgian publisher Casterman, the release was a commercial failure, and English speaking Tintin fans would have to wait until 1959 for another English edition to be published. Today, this Casterman Medallion edition of Red Rackham is highly sought after by collectors, and rarely ever offered for sale. This copy... is in particularly good condition, with an amusingly quirky English translation (Professor Calculus is "Archibald Blunderbuss" and "The Crab With The Golden Nippers" is listed as an upcoming release!). Free worldwide shipping is included, and I will pack the book very securely to protect it in transit. Thank you for your interest, and please feel free to ask any questions.
