"The Crab with the Golden Claws" is Herge's ninth comic strip album of "The Adventures of Tintin" and the second episode (part 2 of 2) of Season 1. The second part of the story continues on his traditional detective work through North Africa, to discover where and who are the drug suppliers. This has everything form a plane ride through an electrical storm, speedboat chase, wandering through the desert and seeing mirages. While, Tintin might get sidetracked, the pacing is kept at a cracking temperament and the alcoholic rages of the firebrand Haddock always amuses. The adventure seems to be more grounded in reality (no treasure hunting or odd, new creations) and interlinked with more contemporary old fashioned rhythm. Some reason Tintin is always becoming the news, then actually reporting it and especially on this adventure. A straight-forward Tintin outing made lively because of the characters and provocative passages of actions and mystery
