The Adventures of Tintin #[5]
In "Land of Black Gold," Tintin races against time in a Middle Eastern nation on the edge of chaos, where sabotaged fuel disrupts entire nations and a shadowy plot threatens to ignite war. With the help of Captain Haddock, Tintin uncovers a conspiracy in Khemed led by Müller and Bab El Ehr, who seek to exploit the region's untapped oil and destabilize the region—while holding the child prince hostage. A gripping tale of intrigue and courage, illustrated with Hergé’s signature precision and brought to life in full color by Hergé’s own cover art.
