Hello dear comic connoisseurs,

I just had a question about the covers of the Tintin albums.
As far as I could tell, those of the following adventures have been redrawn.
Tintin ... In Africa/Congo, in America, The Cigars of the Pharaoh, The Blue Lotus and the Black Rocks, The rest have remained the same in terms of color and size.

Am I right?

The cover of Ottokar's scepter has also been adjusted.

rikMooren Hi, I had another question for you (or anyone else in the know). As far as I know, besides the covers, the pages themselves have also been redrawn (on some points), has there been "cut" in the (later) albums? As it happened, for example, with the Blue series of Suske en Wiske, when it was merged with the Red series.

As far as I know, there has never been " cut" in a Tintin story after the albums were published.
The Tintins made in the period 1930 - 1945 have been largely redrawn and colored.
These have been published in Dutch since 1946. However, in some of Tintin's stories, minor changes have been made per album on various albums, mostly concerning controversial scenes in albums such as Tintin in Congo/Africa.
