Got a copy in the mail today of Le Crabe aux pinces d'or (édition Fac Similé couleurs). Hooray for drinking straight from the bottle and crude stereotypical drawings of Africans!

In all seriousness, I do love me some French-language Tintin. Nice of the French publisher to offer reproductions of earlier editions as well as the current "sanitized" versions. Pity the facsimiles don't make it to English, though. I'd love to see L'Île Noire (1943 version) translated...
