The Adventures of Tintin by Hergè

The Adventures of Tintin by Hergè are graphic novels that were first published in the 1930's and are still as famous now as they were then. The stories follow the adventures of the young reporter,Tintin, and his faithful companion, Snowy. There are 23 stories altogether. Several stories contain use of drugs, but they are alright for 9-up. The illustrations are amazingly detailed and historically accurate.
