Tintin new editions

[Walsh06]

Im looking to start collecting tintin stories. I read them when I was younger and would love to own them all now. The thing Im wondering are the new versions that were released last year good/worth it. I know they are smaller and that they have some extra information. So is the smaller size bad or is it ok. And are the extra pages good/useful or whatever. Any information would be helpful, thanks.

Hard to say. I have all the albums in the larger format, which I love.

The smaller albums are only great because of the extras. There is background info on the inspiration of the stories and such. Am surprised they are pushing these as being for little kids. I would think it would be the fans/collectors who would more appreciate these editions.

I would recommend checked them out in a bookstore first.
