"The Seven Crystal Balls" is the thirteenth volume in the series of comic albums created by Belgian cartoonist Hergé, featuring the intrepid young reporter Tintin. Published in 1948, this adventure begins with a mysterious illness striking members of an archaeological expedition that had recently returned from Peru.
Tintin becomes involved in the investigation when his friend Professor Calculus falls victim to the same mysterious ailment. Alongside Captain Haddock, Tintin delves into the circumstances surrounding the curse-like affliction that seems to target the explorers.
As Tintin unravels the mystery, he discovers a connection to the ancient Inca civilization and a plot orchestrated by a secret criminal organization. The story is filled with suspense, supernatural elements, and suspenseful moments as Tintin races against time to uncover the truth and save his friends.
Hergé's artwork vividly captures the eerie atmosphere of the story, with haunting dream sequences and detailed depictions of ancient artifacts. The album blends elements of mystery, adventure, and suspense, keeping readers engaged from start to finish.
One of the highlights of "The Seven Crystal Balls" is its introduction of Professor Calculus as a prominent character in the Tintin series. Calculus's absent-mindedness and quirky inventions add humor and charm to the narrative, complementing Tintin's resourcefulness and determination.
