The Crab with the Golden Claws
by Hergé (Author/Illustrator)
Tintin and Snowy have stumbled upon a police investigation underway in Brussels, revolving around the mystery of a drowned man. Tintin sets off on a new adventure in which he travels to the exotic country of Morocco, hot on the trail of a gang of opium smugglers. This adventure is the backdrop for the first meeting between Tintin and Captain Haddock, an irascible sailor who remains by Tintin’s side for the rest of the reporter’s adventures.
When we first meet Haddock, the captain is in a bad way: he’s an alcoholic and a virtual prisoner of the ship’s mate, Allan. But Tintin takes the captain under his wing and their many adventures together begin.
