Cigars of the Pharaoh [SEP] series
Cigars of the Pharaoh
Cigars of the Pharaoh () is the fourth volume of "The Adventures of Tintin", the series of comic albums by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Commissioned by the conservative Belgian newspaper "Le XXe Siècle" for its children's supplement "Le Petit Vingtième", it was serialised weekly from December 1932 to February 1934. The story tells of young Belgian reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy, who are travelling in Egypt when they discover a pharaoh's tomb filled with dead Egyptologists and boxes of cigars.
Thierry Wermuth voiced the character of Tintin. In 2010, the television channel Arte filmed an episode of its documentary series, "Sur les traces de Tintin" ("On the traces of Tintin"), in Egypt exploring the inspiration and setting of the "Cigars of the Pharaoh".
