Tintin In America Campfire Colour Version English

"The colour editions of Tintin's adventures known so well to readers began to appear in 1942. On account of wartime paper rationing and the introduction of new printing methods, Herge accepted on the insistence of Charles Lesne, his editor at publishers Casterman, that The Adventures of Tintin would in future be published at a limited number of pages but in colour.
So that year a contract was signed between Herge and Casterman for "publication of the series of books of The Adventures of Tintin ... that have appeared or will appear ... and of which he is the author under the pseudonym HERGE". The books were all reduced to a standard length of 62 pages. This particular volume is based on the original black and white version published in 1932, so ten years before the agreement with Casterman

Coloured with regard to the black and white flats that disappeared with the future colour editions, it runs to 120 pages, so is almost double the length of the version that appeared following the accord with Casterman. Moulinsart is engaged in the colourisation of the first nine black and white adventures. Casterman was associated with the publication of the first of these, Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, but is not involved in publishing the subsequent titles".
