Tintin and Alph-Art (French: Tintin et l'alph-art) is the uncompleted twenty-fourth and final book in the Tintin series, created by Belgian comics artist Hergé. It is a departure from the earlier books in tone and subject; rather than being set in a usual exotic and action-packed environment this story is largely played out in the world of modern art.
This is a collection of sketches Herge was preparing for the 24th Tintin adventure, but died in 1983 before he could finish the story or colour and ink it in. This book gives a unique insight into the process behind the creation of a Tintin adventure.
At the end, Tintin is about to be cast into a living sculpture by a mysterious enemy - one last cliffhanger for the world's best loved journalist.
