«El Lotus Blau» is the adventure comic by Hergé (Georges Remi), published by Editorial Juventud in hardcover (64 pages, in Catalan).
Tintin travels to mysterious China and, in Shanghai, discovers the origin of a poison that drives people mad. He faces a gang of opium traffickers and Japanese agents in a suspenseful plot. The work marked a turning point in the series: Hergé researched China and moved away from stereotypes.
Fifth volume in the «Les Aventures de Tintin» series, in the «Les Aventures de Tintin Català» collection. The original album, «Le Lotus bleu», was published in 1935; translation by Joaquim Ventalló.
Classic of European adventure comics for all ages, aimed at both young readers and Tintin fans.
Georges Prosper Remi, known by the pen name Hergé, from the French pronunciation of his reversed initials RG, was a Belgian comic strip artist. He is best known for creating The Adventures of Tintin, the series of comic albums that are considered one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century. He was also responsible for two other well-known series, Quick & Flupke (1930–1940) and The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko (1936–1957). His works were executed in his distinctive ligne claire drawing style.
