Tintin and the Lake of Sharks

From Free net encyclopedia

Tintin and the Lake of Sharks (originally known as Tintin et le Lac aux Requins) is a Tintin story that was originally an animated film, directed by Raymond LeBlanc (1972). It was written not by Hergé but by the Belgian comics writer/artist Michel Regnier. It was later adapted into a comic book, where word balloons were added to still images from the movie (supposedly due to the fact that this was deemed cheaper than dubbing the film into other languages).

Tintin, Snowy, and Captain Haddock head out to Cuthbert Calculus' estate on a mysterious lake in Syldavia. They end up discovering a large criminal gang in a base on the bottom of the lake ruled by Tintin's old enemy Rastapopoulos. Calculus has invented a machine which can reproduce objects in three dimensions, which Rastapopoulos tries to steal to use in an art forgery racket. He tries to drown Tintin, but Tintin escapes. Rastapopoulos is apprehended by Tintin and Haddock.
