2. Tintin is the titular protagonist of The Adventures of Tintin , the comic series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé . The character was first created in 1929 and introduced in Le Petit Vingtième , a weekly youth supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle. Appearing as a young man with a round face and quiff hairstyle, Tintin is depicted as a precocious, multitalented reporter who travels the world with his dog Snowy.

3. Snowy Snowy (French: Milou ) is a fictional character in The Adventures of Tintin , the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé . Snowy is a white Wire Fox Terrier who is a companion to Tintin , the series' protagonist. Snowy debuted on 10 January 1929 in the first installment of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets , which was serialised in Le Petit Vingtième until May 1930.

4. Captain Haddock Haddock is initially depicted as a weak and alcoholic character under the control of his treacherous first mate Allan, who keeps him drunk and runs his freighter. In the adventure Secret of the Unicorn (and continuing in Red Rackham’s Treasure) he and Tintin travel to find a pirate’s treasure captured by his ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock (François de Hadoque in French). With newfound wealth and regaining his ancestral home Marlinspike Hall, Captain Haddock becomes a socialite; riding a horse, wearing a monocle, and sitting in a theatre box seat (The Seven Crystal Balls). He then evolves to become genuinely heroic, volunteering to sacrifice his life to save Tintin’s own in the pivotal Tintin in Tibet. In later volumes he is clearly retired.
Throughout it all, the Captain’s coarse humanity and sarcasm act as a counterpoint to Tintin’s often implausible heroism. He is always quick with a dry comment whenever the boy reporter gets too idealistic.

5. Chang Chang was based on the Chinese artist Zhang Chongren , a real friend.of Hergé’s . Their meetings was the 1936 story The Blue Lotus, a major landmark in the development of The Adventures of Tintin . Chang remained unmentioned in the stories until Tintin in Tibet, published almost 25 years later in 1958. In this story, Chang sends Tintin a letter in which he announces his imminent move from Hong Kong, where he had been living, to London in order to work in an antique shop owned by a brother of Wang’s. His aeroplane, however, crashes over the mountains of Tibet.

6. Synopsis 1 While on holiday at a resort in the French Alps with Snowy, Captain Haddock, and Professor Calculus, Tintin reads about a plane crash in the Gosain Than Massif in the Himalayas of Tibet. He then has a vision of his friend Chang Chong-Chen, badly injured and calling for help from the wreckage of the crashed plane. Convinced of Chang’s survival, Tintin flies to Kathmandu, via Delhi, with Snowy and a skeptical Captain Haddock. They hire a Sherpa named Tharkey and, accompanied by porters, travel overland from Nepal towards the crash site.

7. The porters abandon the group in fear when mysterious tracks are found, while Tintin , Haddock and Tharkey go on and eventually reach the crash site. Tintin sets off with Snowy to trace Chang’s steps, and finds a cave where Chang has carved his name on a rock. On leaving the cave, he encounters a snowstorm and glimpses what seems to be a human silhouette. Tharkey believes that Tintin saw the Yeti and convinces him to abandon his friend and return with him to Nepal, since the area is too large to search. Tintin spots a scarf on a cliff face, concludes Chang is nearby, and continues with only the Captain. While attempting to scale a cliff face, Haddock slips and hangs out of reach, imperilling Tintin , who is tied to him. He tells Tintin to cut the rope to save himself, but Tintin refuses. Haddock tries to cut it himself, but drops his knife, alerting Tharkey , who has returned in time to rescue them. They try to camp for the night but lose their tent and must trek onwards, unable to sleep lest they freeze, arriving within sight of the Buddhist monastery of Khor-Biyong before being caught in an avalanche.

9. Blessed Lightning, a monk at the monastery, has a vision of Tintin , Snowy, Haddock, and Tharkey in danger. Tintin regains consciousness and, too weak to walk, gives Snowy a note to deliver. Snowy runs to the monastery, loses the message, but is recognised as the dog from Blessed Lightning’s vision. Tintin , Haddock and Tharkey regain consciousness in the monastery and are brought before the Grand Abbot. The Abbot tells Tintin to abandon his quest, but Blessed Lightning has another vision, through which Tintin learns that Chang is still alive inside a mountain cave at the Horn of the Yak—and that the Yeti is also there. Tintin and Haddock travel on to the Horn of the Yak

10. They arrive at a cave. Tintin ventures inside and finds Chang, who is feverish. The Yeti suddenly appears, revealed as a large anthropoid, reacting with anger at Tintin’s attempt to take Chang. As it lunges at Tintin , the flash bulb of Tintin’s camera goes off and scares the Yeti away. Chang tells Tintin that the Yeti saved his life after the crash. Upon returning to inhabited lands, the friends are surprised to be met by the Grand Abbot, who presents Tintin with a khata scarf in honour of the bravery he has shown for his friend Chang. As the party travels home, Chang muses that the Yeti is not a wild animal, but has a human soul. The Yeti sadly watches their departure from a distance.
