Book Information
Genre: Adventure
First appearance: "Husbands and Knives"

Tintin in Paris is a comic book which Lisa read at Coolsville Comics & Toys.

History[edit]

Lisa was surprised to find Tintin comics at Coolsville, as she thought that they only existed in high school French classes. In the scene from Tintin in Paris that she read, Tintin and Snowy were descending a staircase in a castle, and Tintin said, "Come on, Snowy! We must save the Belgian ambassador from the Black Orchid gang!" Suddenly, to their confusion, the whole place began to shake, and there was a sound of engines igniting. The comic changed to an exterior view, which showed a rocket that had formerly been concealed inside the castle, but was starting its engines and taking off as the castle crumbled around it. Tintin and Snowy had actually been inside the rocket, and they stared out the window as the rocket rose into the air. The rocket then suddenly turned around and headed for the ground and was about to crash into the Pompidou Centre.

Eager to find out what happened next, Lisa turned the page and accidentally tore it, to her mortification. She immediately apologized to Milo the store owner. Milo, however, wasn't angry because he understood that it was an accident and believed that comics were meant to be read and enjoyed rather than hoarded for their value.
