Written in 1931, Tintin in America was chronologically the third Tintin adventure but is generally considered the first in the "official" canon. The stereotypes probably fit how a European would have looked at the New World, from Al Capone's gangsters in Chicago to a Native American tribe in the unfortunately named Redskin City, as Tintin and Snowy escape one peril after another in pursuit of villain Bobby Smiles. It's one of Herge's least complex--and least entertaining--tales, still worth a read but not a good introduction to the series as a whole. --David Horiuchi
"Tintin goes to America and cleans up Chicago by putting Al Capone behind bars. On the way, he is captured by the Native Americans but manages to escape. The tone of this book is particularly simplistic and I was never too fond of it.
The only thing of note is the sequence of events leading to the Native Americans losing their land. Once oil is discovered on the lands where they live, they are essentially driven off it my unscrupulous corporations. This mirrors their shameful real-life treatmen"
"This is the first book that I read as a child. Here, Tintin goes to Chicago to rid the city of its criminals pursuing his quarry to the Mid West where he encounters a tribe of Native Americans."
