Title: Adventures of Tintin Media: Comics, both the black/white and the colourised versions.
Approx length: There are 9* b/w comics (including the infamous "Tintin in the Land of the Soviets" & "Tintin in the Congo") and 22 colour versions (including "Tintin in the Congo").
Where to find it: The comic bookset is sold on Amazon, but digital copies are also sold on the 'Adventures of Tintin' app, which is on both Android and iPhone. It's also in libraries and bookstores!
What is it, in summary?: It's about a journalist who always finds himself in a lot of danger because of all the shenanigans that happens as he investigates a new scoop. The main leads are: Tintin, the brave journalist, his dog Milou (Snowy in English), Captain Haddock, a sea captain he befriends, as well as Professor Calculus, a deaf scientist who comes up with a lot of strange inventions.
There is a pretty iconic meme that stemmed from one of the comic panels, that looks like this:
What do you love about it?: There is a lovely found family that forms between Tintin, Haddock, and Calculus. Through all the trials and tribulations that the three + Snowy go through, they are constantly barely making it out with their lives. Even though this comic is quite dated, it is still very enjoyable today, and I would say this is a lovely read for both younger and older audiences. It has a fun sense of adventure, with humor, and a very charming cast. Tintin, Snowy, Haddock and Calculus are all very lovable in the own rights, and the supporting characters are also just as lovely.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Fanfic or fanart would be fine with me. I love the comics and the TV show, and I love the relationships between everyone in the cast. The found family trope is very strong in this comic series.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfill your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?:
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): This show is dated, so some of the jokes don't hit, especially in the first three albums, America, Congo, and Soviet. I would not recommend any of those. Alcoholism is a prevalent gag. benedict's reply here
