When the Shooting Star was first put into book form, Hergé removed a panel of two caricatured Jews talking about the end of the world. The name of the villain is changed from Blumenstein to Bohlwinkel (after Bolewinkel, which means ”candy store.”) and the USA was changed to the made up nation “Sao Rico.”
