Tintin's friend Chang has been killed in a terrible plane crash and Tintin is distraught. But after a strange dream, Tintin becomes convinced Chang is alive. Together with Captain Haddock, he sets out on an impossible mission, an adventure deep into the mountains, through blizzards and caves of ice. They must find Chang at all costs.

The Official Classic Children’s Illustrated Mystery Adventure Series

Description

Tintin in Tibet (1960) is a story of friendship, devoid of all villains, and which recounts Tintin's desperate search for his lost friend. Chang, a young Chinese boy en route to Europe, is the victim of an aeroplane crash in the Himalayas.

This poignant adventure demonstrates that loyalty and hope can overcome all obstacles and that preconceived ideas, such as the fear of the "abominable snowman", are often the result of sheer ignorance.
