    When I worked in downtown Ottawa, I found out that there was a whole industry around hand-crafted action figures featuring characters from French language comics. Beautiful things in their way. Articulated? I'm not sure- they were a little expensive to play with. Anyway, one TinTin I always wanted to read was 'Au pays des soviets' ("In The Land Of The Soviets." I couldn't find it as a kid, think it was effectively banned in French Canada, and when it reappeared I was too dignified, ie too scared of looking like a kid, to buy a copy. Now of course I will run out and buy it, and the Black Island one too.

    Between the two colour versions, the later one shows the pleats reversed - possibly due to copying the image used for printing and forgetting it is reversed, but there are no other obvious reversals...
