Amazon.com Review The Crab with the Golden Claws is best known for introducing Tintin's best friend and one of the series' most memorable characters: Captain "Blistering Barnacles" Haddock. As Tintin is investigating a mysterious can of crab and a drowned sailor, he meets Haddock, a "miserable wretch" who's being kept in ample alcohol so his insidious first mate, Allan, can run a drug operation. Crab had to be lengthened to fit the standard 62-page format; fortunately, Herge achieved this by, among other additions, creating four marvelous full-page spreads. --David Horiuchi
"Though chronologically out of line with the comics, the first Tintin episode on film is funny, mysterious, solidly scripted for a Tintin episode, and always engaging, setting the benchmark for a wonderful series."
"Tintin is on the trail of another drug trafficking ring, this time in Morocco, which was still a colony when this book was written. While the story isn't the greatest in the series, the art work is fantastic. We get a number of stunning full page panels throughout the book.
We encounter Captain Haddock for the first time, an alcoholic ship captain who is being manipulated by his first mate. He's much more a hindrance to Tintin than a help (if at all). He manages to get drunk and light their boa"
