BRUSSELS -- On his 75th birthday, Tintin, the boy reporter who never grows old, has gotten himself into a bit of a scrape.
In "Tintin and Alph Art," the series's 24th and last book -- and the first new volume since 1976 -- our hero uncovers a fraudulent art scheme and tracks the perpetrators to the island of Ischia off the coast of Italy, where they have stored counterfeit paintings in a grand hilltop chateau.

Hmmm, I've had the "collector's edition" for a few years now. I don't know how different they can make it given that it'll STILL be an unfinished work. | odessasteps

After looking around on Amazon.uk, it appears there's a 75th anniversary DVD too.
