Tintin Manga

Chris of Comics 212 documents his trip to Japan which included a trip to a Japanese Tintin Store completed with the Tintin albums reformatted to more closely resemble manga books.

Tintin Manga Format

Rather than shrinking the art, they decided instead to cut-and-paste the panels and pages to create a thicker, more ‘manga-sized’ expeirence. And in black and white too. I’d be surprised if this particular translation/reformat wasn’t actually handled in France, because it’s pretty-much a note-perfect translation of the stories from one format to another. I picked up one of these for a diehard Tintin fan that we know, and he loved it. Cool beans!
