BLISTERING BARNACLES (CAPTAIN HADDOCK / TINTIN) (HB)

Captain Haddock made his first appearance alongside Tintin in 1941, and in the course of the 80 years that followed, has gone on to become one of Hergé best loved characters. Clumsy, accident-prone, frequently intoxicated and almost always enraged, the Captain is perhaps best known for his colourful exclamations. ‘Blistering barnacles’ and ‘thundering typhoons’ have passed into the public consciousness. This book explores in joyful detail the Captain’s legendary tirades - and is the perfect way to discover, or rediscover, this extraordinary character and his unforgettable adventures.
