Dive into the world of Captain Haddock’s colourful language with Blistering Barnacles. A A to Z collection of Haddock’s memorable rants from Hergé’s famous Tintin series complied by Albert Algoud.
The book pays tribute to Haddock’s brilliant wit. The endearing seadog, who in a rage could shout the most ridiculous and yet stinging insults. This clever banter came about through Hergé’s close friendship with the translators, Lesley Lonsdale-Cooper and Michael Turner.
If you need an example check out his reaction on page 43, taken from the adventure The Shooting Star!
Illustrated with classic Hergé drawings and other images. The book provides the reader with an insight to the enduring phrases that define Captain Haddock’s timeless appeal.
