Any one help to identify this mystery book?

December 1, 2005 1:53 PM

Someone help (Please). I remember reading a book at School in about 1979-1980, although it may have been printed way before that, it was similar to Tin Tin, and may have been about A Adventurer in space. It also contained a section where our adventurer meets aliens (I think) and you were provided with a Translation section!! Any ideas, i know it's vague, but it's kinda driving me nuts. PS I'm from England so it might be a English publication.

Yoko Tsuno ?

Does it related to Ligne Claire, or even to the Franco-Belgian comic style, or is it entirely something else ?

Response by poster: Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure it wasnt any of the suggestions. I also seem to remember that there was two seperate adventures in two books. Very similar to Tin tin in the layout of the books, but thats about all i can remember-Not much use am i??
