“The kingdom in King Ottokar’s Sceptre doesn’t exist, yet fans have written dictionaries for its language. Expect a young reader to start sketching maps of a kingdom of their own.”
Tintin meets Captain Haddock, plus a Scottish mystery and a royal plot.
The Adventures of Tintin: Volume 3 is a comic collection of three classic Tintin adventures, from the Scottish coast to the Sahara.
In The Black Island, Tintin is wrongly accused and follows a gang of forgers to Scotland. King Ottokar's Sceptre takes him to the kingdom of Syldavia, where a plot threatens King Muskar XII. In The Crab with the Golden Claws, a drowned sailor and a scrap of crab-tin label lead him to the ship Karaboudjan.
