Connections With Other Tintin Books
Although Thomson and Thompson had first appeared in Cigars of the Pharaoh in 1934 and had featured in the three adventures that followed, they were not given actual names until the 1938-9 King Ottokar's Sceptre when Tintin introduces them by name to Alembick at the airport.
Two recurring Tintin characters are introduced in King Ottokar's Sceptre: Bianca Castafiore and Colonel Boris, who was to re-appear under the name of Jorgen in Destination Moon and its sequel Explorers on the Moon.

Famous quotes containing the words connections and/or books:
“Imagination is an almost divine faculty which, without recourse to any philosophical method, immediately perceives everything: the secret and intimate connections between things, correspondences and analogies.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“If writers were too wise, perhaps no books would get written at all. It might be better to ask yourself “Why?” afterwards than before. Anyway, the force from somewhere in Space which commands you to write in the first place, gives you no choice. You take up the pen when you are told, and write what is commanded. There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
