Critical approaches to the story have been mixed, with differing opinions expressed as to the competing merits of the volume's three versions. Across Europe, car engines are spontaneously exploding; this coincides with the spectre of a potential war throughout the continent, resulting in Captain Haddock being mobilised into the navy. Although detectives Thomson and Thompson initially suspect that the oil crisis is a scam intended The Adventures of Tintin: Land of Black Gold drive up business for a local roadside assistance company, Tintin learns from the managing director of Belgium's leading oil company, Speedol, that it is a result of someone tampering with the petrol at its source, and discovers a conspiracy involving a crew member of Destination Moon of their petrol tankersthe Speedol Star. The Adventures of Tintin: Land of Black Gold three work undercover as new members of the Star' s crew as it sets off for the Middle Eastern kingdom of Khemed. Recognising Snowy from Tintin's earlier scouting of the ship, the treacherous mate attempts to drown the dog, but becomes amnesiac in an altercation with Tintin. Upon arrival, Tintin and the detectives are framed and arrested by the authorities under various charges. Thomson and Thompson are cleared and released, but Tintin is kidnapped by the Arab insurgent Bab El Ehrwho mistakenly believes that Tintin has information for him concerning an arms delivery. Tintin escapes and encounters an old enemy, Dr. He reunites with Thomson and Thompson during a sandstorm and eventually arrives in Khemed's capital city of Wadesdah. He finds the prince, who is imprisoned in a dungeon, and rescues him as Haddock arrives with the authorities. Thomson and Thompson find the tablets and, mistaking them for aspirin due to their being packaged as such, swallow them, resulting in them growing long hair and beards that change colour. After analysing the tablets, Professor Calculus develops an antidote for Thomson and Thompson and a means of countering the affected oil supplies. The idea of European nations rivaling each other for oil supplies was inspired by a February issue of Le Crapouillot magazine. Discharged within the month, he returned to Brussels and began Land of Black Gold. However, he fell ill with sinusitis and boils and was declared unfit for service in May This version, which amounts to 58 pages, has never been collected in book form. Given its portrayal of Germans as the antagonists of the story, it would not have been appropriate for Land of Black Gold to continue serialisation under Nazi occupation. After completing serialisation of Prisoners of the Sun in Aprilhe ordered his staff Destination Moon re-serialise one of his old stories, Popol and Virginiawhile he took a three-month break. Black Gold was a repair, and I abandoned it.

In this revised version, Tintin arrives at Khemkhah in Khemed, where he is arrested by the Arab military police before being captured and taken directly to Bab El Ehr. Jean-Marc Lofficier and Randy Lofficier believed that Land of Black Gold suffered from having been "rebaked", being "pulled between the 'old' pre-war Tintin and the more modern one. They felt that this pre-Second World War atmosphere also pervaded the second, coloured version of the book, but that they had nevertheless been partly removed by the creation of the third version. Michael Farr believed that Land of Black Gold illustrated Destination Moon "shelved material could be usefully resuscitated. Literary critic Tom McCarthy believed that in the story, the desert represented "a space of multiple misreading", which included the mirages, fake documents, and cases of mistaken The Adventures of Tintin: Land of Black Gold.

Start your review of The Adventures of Tintin, Vol. Besides the adventure with Tintin actually on the moon, this volume was a little boring compared to the others. The Land of Black Gold read like his first Tintin books with the lack of Haddock, which I though he was need more of in the story. The first moon story didn't have much happen and was more them getting ready for lift off. The last moon story and the last in this 3-in-1 actually had a good story and felt like a good Tintin book.

Dec 20, Rishika S. I spent the last couple of months reading through a few volumes of Tintin Volumes 3 to 6. You will run across characters from previous stories after Volume 3. Which is why it may The Adventures of Tintin: Land of Black Gold a good idea to stick to the order the books were written in while reading them. They are books and stories that everyone must try, at least once. Stay tuned for the summarised review of the rest of the volumes which will probably come up in a few months.
