With The Black Island, published between 1937 and 1938, Herge brings us a pure detective story set off the coast of northern Scotland. All who dare visit the rocky shores are never seen again. The dark secret of the ruined castle must be uncovered by Tintin, the boy reporter. We'll meet a gang of conterfeiters, the unscrupulous Dr. Muller, and an amazing beast. With the "help" of the bumbling detectives Thompson and Thomson, Tintin and Snowy (of course) solve the case!
