"The Adventures of Tintin: Breaking Free is an anarchist parody of the popular Tintin series of comics. An exercise in detournement, the book was written under the pseudonym J. Daniels.

"Published by Attack International, the story features a number of characters based on those from the original series by Hergé, notably Tintin himself and Captain Haddock; but not the original themes or plot.

"Attracting the wrath of the tabloid press when it was published, the story tracks Tintin's development from a disaffected, shoplifting youth to a revolutionary leader."
