I can remember tracking down "Tintin in the Congo" - I found it completely unremarkable.

It was pretty low quality compared to later Tintin books, and a lot more racist. No surprise though considering the era, and that this was during the midst of the Belgian occupation of the Congo.

I guess I've read a lot more 20th century stuff. I didn't even register on my radar.
