Tintin travels to North America and faces the Chicago gangster syndicate, led by Al Capone. The story initially focused on the American indigenous people, also showing the deserts, prairies, modern industries, and large cities of America. It denounces the prohibition of alcohol, gangsters, cowboys, and the dispossession of indigenous people from their lands due to oil. First published in 1931, the color version of the album was made in 1945, benefiting from Hergé's experience in the language of visual storytelling.
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.
