The Shooting Star
"The Shooting Star" was a commercial success and was published in book form by Casterman shortly after its conclusion; the first "Tintin" volume to be originally published in the 62-page full-colour format. Hergé continued "The Adventures of Tintin" with "The Secret of the Unicorn", while the series itself became a defining part of the Franco-Belgian comics tradition. "The Shooting Star" has received a mixed critical reception and has been one of the more controversial instalments in the series due to the perceived antisemitic portrayal of its villain. The story was adapted for both the 1957 Belvision animated series, "Hergé's Adventures of Tintin", and for the 1991 animated series "The Adventures of Tintin" by Ellipse and Nelvana.
