Just entering my Tintin collection. In the catalog of the album “Tintin in Africa” I find an item from the year 1970 with Catawiki number 24357 . The placed rear corresponds to my copy. Still, I doubt whether this item is from 1970. It has a ISBN number on it.
When I look at Matla's comic book catalog, the years 1961 and 1981 are mentioned for the unboarded series.
My question: is the item posted not from 1981, or is Matla wrong?

If you look in the history of that album you will see that Johannes placed the front and back on January 2, 2009. I have the strong impression that the description is correct (because it comes from Bonte), but that the pictures are not correct.
Since I was not properly introduced to all editions of Tintin, I ignore most of them while reviewing, including this one.
You can still reject the addition of the covers and you can add your own correct covers afterwards.

Hi everyone. I have a Tintin in Africa comic book here. It says on the inside that it was printed in 1947 and it has a hard cover. How do I know how much it is worth.
Can someone please help me.
Greetings, Marcel

@Marcel,

Unfortunately, the year 1947 does not say much when determining the value.
What matters is the back of the album.
Can you indicate the last Tintin title on the back? And which non-Tintin albums are on the back?

And whether the back is made of "linen" is also important!

Hi,

The spine is not linen and the last title on the back is: Men on the Moon. Furthermore it says: series 1-3-4-5. Do you know more then?
Gr, Marleen

@Marleen
Your Tintin in Africa is probably from 1955 (Ottens 15.4; 55III).
The value depends on the condition of the album.
It is in our catalog under number 155457 .

That number should have a cloth spine, so 1 of you 2 is wrong.

Can you help me further?

a hard cover Tintin, without a linen spine, so that must almost be a facsimile edition? It is best to post / send a photo anyway…

A picture says more than 1000 words ... (freely translated)

The picture looks exactly like the message that rikmooren sent with that number. Only then no linen spine.

In the meantime I have received scans of the album from Marcel and Marleen.
It is really a copy from 1955 with a red linen spine.
The 1986 reprint has the Picaros as the final title and not Men on the Moon.

Marleen still has to learn a thing or two, what a linen back is, I think? :-)

Dear Tintin enthusiasts,
I think I have a Kuife in Africa from 1957. In the front is copyright 1947, on the back is the last adventure 'De Zaak Zonnebloem'.
On three pages it says at the bottom (I assume for numbering of sections for sewing, however, not K. Africa but K. Congo 4 (4 and before 3 and 2).
Is that special or did all Tintin in Africa albums still have Tintin in Congo at the bottom of pages 47, 31 and 15?
I am curious and thanks in advance for an answer!

Until 1952, this story was called Tintin in Congo and probably never bothered to change the coding of the quires. The hard cover version of Tintin in Africa from 1957 is the last hardcover edition, so this coding was probably never changed between 1954 and 1957.

Unfortunately I can check this, because I have no other editions from that period.

For example, it is true that in a lot of first editions the French coding has been used; in a first edition of "the broken ear", the quire reads Or. Cass. (L'oreille cassée)

Dear members.

Is the year always only at the front of Tintin?

It says 1947 but my Tintin with SC has the title "Tintin in Africa" so as I understood this from after 1952 right?

Mvg Martin

Dear Martin,

Years in Tintin unfortunately do not say much because Casterman has usually chosen to only mention the year of the first edition.

If you have a Tintin in SC then it must be at least from 1960. Until 1960, all Tintins were issued in HC.

If your Tintin does not have a linen spine but a paper spine, it must be at least 1970.

In the period 1960 to 1970, all Tintins had an SC cover and a linen spine.

If there is an ISB number on the back, it must be at least from 1974.

Only from 1974 did Casterman mention the ISB numbers on the back cover.

Then it is a matter of the number of titles on the back cover, number of languages in the colophon, Layout of the back cover, etc.

It will be one of this three editions . Compare the backsides and the language list (see Details).

Only if your copy is in very good condition does it have a significant value.
