Tintin - Trésor de Rakam le Rouge

In 19 February 1943, the Belgian newspaper "Le Soir volé" published the first strip of this story. Hergé later on would modify most of the drawings and a lot of the text for the first publication of the comic book that appeared in 1944. So all the Tintin fans around the world have never really seen the original Le Soir version but only the Casterman edition.

In the past few months Le Soir has published every day a strip from their archives and an editor every day points to us all the changes, even the smallest, that were made afterward with a comment on the reasons and results this changes made to the story.

I find this comparison fascinating and it gives me, a long time Tintinophile, a good understanding of the underlining details of the story. I collect every day the strip from Le Soir. Later on I will make an album with these trips of newspaper. I do not think this exercise will published anyway.
