The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn

Okay, exciting news today, the first pictures of the new Tintin movie, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn are out. I couldn't believe how good they are, and how true they are to the original comics.

It's been directed and produced by two of my favorite directors, Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) and Steven Spielberg (Indiana Jones movies). This has to be the must see movie for me in 2011. It also features Daniel Craig as Red Rackham and Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock. And Stephen Moffat (Coupling, Doctor Who) is one of the writers.

Tintin and the Mountains of Madness

My good friend Pete Tracy pointed this out to me today, two covers by Murray Groat that I have to post becuase they are so cool. Books I'd love to read, if they existed. Tintin was a long time favorite comic of mine as a kid.
