«El loto azul» is the adventure comic by Hergé, fifth album of The Adventures of Tintin, published by Editorial Juventud in hardback (64 pages, in Spanish).
Tintin travels to ancient China and, in Shanghai, discovers the origin of a poison that causes madness while facing a band of opium traffickers and Japanese agents. The story also shows the friendship between Tintin and a young Chinese man named Tchang, a character inspired by a real person.
The work belongs to the series The Adventures of Tintin, where it occupies fifth place. It is the first installment in which Hergé thoroughly researched the country his character visited.
Recommended for readers aged 5 to 6, although it will also interest adults who want to enjoy a classic of European adventure comics.
Georges Prosper Remi, known by the pen name Hergé, from the French pronunciation of his reversed initials RG, was a Belgian comic strip artist. He is best known for creating The Adventures of Tintin, the series of comic albums that are considered one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century. He was also responsible for two other well-known series, Quick & Flupke (1930–1940) and The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko (1936–1957). His works were executed in his distinctive ligne claire drawing style.
