When a mysterious meteorite crashes into the Arctic Sea, Tintin joins a scientific expedition to recover it… but he’s not the only one racing to get there. We’ll explore the book’s dreamlike tone, the global tensions bubbling beneath the surface, and how this adventure stands out as one of the most experimental chapters in Tintin’s journey.

In this episode, we crack open The Crab with the Golden Claws, the gritty seafaring adventure that changed the Tintin series forever - by introducing none other than Captain Haddock! What starts as a mystery involving a drowned sailor and strange crab tins quickly spirals into a globe-trotting investigation of a vast drug-smuggling operation. We’ll dig into how this book resets the tone of the series, the chaotic brilliance of Haddock’s debut, and the noir-like atmosphere that gives this story its edge.

In this special episode, we shift gears and take a deep dive into one of the most underrated stars of the Tintin universe - the cars.

Join us as we explore how cars shape the tone, pacing, and personality of the series, one iconic panel at a time!
