AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Between 1935 and 1949, stories of Tintin were published in the Portuguese magazine O Papagaio.
This is a very special series because
For the first time, Tintin was translated and published outside Belgium.
For the first time, the drawings were colored, so earlier than Hergé did!
For the format of O Papagaio, the images were manipulated so that they could sometimes be displayed as 'portrait' and sometimes as 'landscape' / oblong / a l'Italienne. In some stories, this alternation was done within a single issue!
Hergé was fine with O Papagaio publishing the stories – permission was granted – but he was not very pleased that the images were being distorted.
All in all, the numbers of O Papagaio are worth collecting for various reasons.
In this lot, you will find:
The Unicorn's Secret, 20 episodes, between 618 and 665.
The last two episodes are not complete, but Tim-Tim's story is complete.
In the last photos, you can see a detail indicating which numbers of O Papagaio are included in this plot.
The magazines are carefully packed and shipped via Post.nl, insured, and with the usual Track & Trace service.
Due to the uncertain situation regarding import tariffs with the US, we DO NOT ship to the US.
