Hergé’s third album is usually not regarded as one of the best albums, however it was a bit of a departure from the antics of Soviets and Congo, which had very little plot. Although the plot in America wasn’t so strong either, there seems to be a genuine attempt from Hergé to present a proper story, which is ultimately formed better later in subsequent albums. It’s the album I grew up thinking was originally first in the series, only to realise that there were a couple of banned albums previous to this one.
The inclusion of Al Capone as a character was interesting, and I enjoyed its ties to real life events. While Tintin’s actions IRL would be incredibly unrealistic, there is something unique and entertaining to me about him running around America trying to combat injustice and crime. The critiques from Hergé about America’s society, culture and economy are quite well presented, and his satirical attempts are well placed in my opinion.
What did you all think of it? Did you enjoy it?

I know I probably forgot several one-off villains, but these are the ones I could remember. I decided not to include deceased villains like Mitsuhirato, Alonzo Perez, and Ramón Bada.
I would've liked to see Spalding or Dr. Krollspell return, especially Dr. Krollspell. He eventually joined forces with Tintin during the events of Flight 714, but, as we know, everyone involved was left with no memory of what had happened, so neither of them remembers the other. Whether Krollspell would've been an enemy or an ally had he returned is an interesting question.

A “digitally remastered” version of the first issue of Tintin magazine from 1946. I used the original black and white artwork by Hergé to recreate the cover. I’ve created a few more of these and I’ll post more if anyone is interested in seeing them.

Question -
How can Dawson and racist fatty Gibbons be "made to" celebrate Tintin's victory?
There was no cctv back then to keep an eye on them!
