10 Tintin comics/books came as donations to my small school in a small town in India. Hardy boys were also donated but Tintin just hit the sweet spot for me.

I sometimes think it's the artsy design which feels so warm. As an 11-year-old, I was mesmerised by them. I didn't understand a ton of things Captain Haddock said with English being the 2nd language.

The adventures were sooo good. I saw the movie when it came out more than a decade ago and it brought back so many memories.

Even today, I love it's aesthetic design a lot. I discovered Asterix and Obelix when I was 17 and they had similar vibes and energy with their designs in them too.

Popular Indian comics at the time (Chacha Choudhary and others) were great too but the design aesthetic were worlds apart.
