	This is a great quiz. I'd like to see one for Asterix books, too.

	Man, I've read so many of these but don't remember the precise titles.

	GamesmasterG_9:	Jul 3rd, 2009 at 18:18 GMT	2 points
	I got the bonus answer! I don't remember why it isn't usually listed, though.

	lumbre:	Jul 3rd, 2009 at 18:40 GMT	5 points
	@Gamesmaster G-9: Because it's unfinished and published posthumously.

	Oh, also, how about a Tintin character quiz (grid with faces and we type in the names)?

	Jelle:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 19:42 GMT	1 point
	@R: same here, I read them in Dutch and the translations weren't literal enough to get a lot of them. Then I gave up.

	nice quiz. herge's one of the greatest. i was hoping for Tintin and the Secret of Literature as a second bonus.

	JSails:	Jul 14th, 2009 at 00:17 GMT	1 point
	never heard of tintin among the soviets... and i know that tintin in the congo was not published in english... probably because some very steryotypical depictions of africans, judging by "red sea sharks"- "we not dunder-headed coconuts, effendi... we good black men, we want to go to mecca!!!"

	Rastapopulous:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 17:09 GMT	1 point
	Awesome quiz, though I'm surprised at which ones people got most wrong...

	jcb9:	Nov 2nd, 2009 at 01:23 GMT	2 points
	Tintin in the Congo has been published in English. You can get it from Amazon. A lot of bookstores and libraries won't display it, though.

	Casterman did reprint English translations of the three original (and politically-charged) versions: Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, Tintin in the Congo and Tintin in America. The cowboys, Indians and Chicago gangsters in the last are stereotypes, and the first one is basically simplistic propaganda that fit the politics of the right-wing nationalist and anti-Communist Catholic youth magazine he drew for (le Petit Vingtième), which also strongly praised Belgian rule in the Congo. (Hergé later cleaned up some of the patronising African stereotypes of Tintin au Congo.) I bought "Tintin and the Land of the Soviets" (Casterman 1989, ISBN 2-203-02001-6) in a specialist comic-book store in Berkeley, California, ten years ago, but it should also be available from Amazon or, if it's out of print, from a used-book seller.

	XD it's been a whiiiile. i got seven, but i kept thinking of the book covers without having names to put to them. i should read them again.

	I finished my umpteenth reread of the Tintin books only a couple of months ago, so discovering this quiz was nice - if a little easy... (and great to find two bonus answers in there.)

	XCBoss:	May 30th, 2010 at 21:33 GMT	8 points
	To be precise: this quiz is great.
