Tintin: The Blue Lotus Hardcover (1936)

In The Blue Lotus (1936), Tintin sets out to dismantle the international opium trade that is rampant in a country that is mythical, to be sure, but one he knows nothing about: China. At the outset of this story, Tintin’s noble ambition seems excessive. Helped only by the secret society, the Sons of the Dragon, and by his friend Chang, whom he meets late, he manages to overcome every obstacle and ruin the perfidious machinations of his many enemies.
