丁丁与字母艺术 (1986)

《丁丁与字母艺术》（法语：Tintin et l'alph-art），又译《丁丁与阿尔法艺术》，是比利时漫画家埃尔热《丁丁历险记》的第24部作品，也是最后一部作品。故事的主要题材是现代艺术。埃尔热在1983年执笔这部作品时不幸逝世，令这部作品成为未完成的作品。

故事简介

丁丁和哈达克接到碧安卡·卡斯塔菲欧蕾的电话，她说想和刚认识的心灵导师恩达迪涅·阿卡斯（Endaddine Akass）留在他位于伊斯基亚岛的别墅。接着，哈达克来到前卫艺术家拉莫·纳许（Ramó Nash）所在的艺廊，拉莫让哈达克买下有机玻璃制成的“H”形状字母艺术品，艺廊弗卡特（Fourcart）原本打算与丁丁见面，然而弗卡特却在途中发生车祸身亡。在几次逃过被杀害的险境期间，丁丁不但揭发弗卡特的死是被杀，并发现了新兴邪教的教主恩达迪涅·阿卡斯（Endaddine Akass），就是支助纳许的艺术赝品贩售家。不久，毕安卡邀请丁丁及哈达克前往阿卡斯位于意大利的豪宅，阿卡斯却把丁丁囚禁，准备用热塑胶把他活活灌死，制造成聚酯的艺术品，当作雕塑家凯萨·巴尔达奇尼的作品出售。

改编版故事结局

加拿大籍漫画家伊夫·罗迪尔(Yves Rodier)的版本

收到米卢求救纸条的哈达克及时救回丁丁，然而他们却无法脱离阿卡斯的魔爪，其后阿卡斯向二人表明自己就是拉普洛斯。庆幸机警的纳许及时报警，并制止拉普洛斯把丁丁及哈达克吊死，然而拉普洛斯却因而失足跌下山坡至死。

另外，在埃尔热的原稿出现的艺廊职员玛蒂娜·范德桑德(Martine Vandezande)，却在罗迪尔同人版的结尾向丁丁表示好感，引起丁丁迷些少争议。

Tintin and Alph-Art (French: Tintin et l'Alph-Art) is the unfinished twenty-fourth and final volume of The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Left incomplete on Hergé's death, the manuscript was posthumously published in 1986. The story revolves around Brussels' modern art scene, where the young reporter Tintin discovers that a local art dealer has been murdered. Investigating further, he encounters a conspiracy of art forgery, masterminded by a religious teacher named Endaddine Akass.

Reflecting his own fascination for modern art, Hergé began work on Tintin and Alph-Art in 1978. However, it was left unfinished at the time of his death in March 1983. At this point it consisted of around 150 pages of pencil-drawn notes, outlines and sketches — not yet rendered in Hergé's trademark ligne claire drawing style — with no ending having been devised for the story. Hergé's colleague Bob de Moor offered to complete the story for publication, and while Hergé's widow Fanny Vlamynck initially agreed, she changed her decision, citing the fact that her late husband had not wanted anyone else to continue The Adventures of Tintin.

A selection of the original notes were collected together and published in book form by Casterman in 1986. Since that point, several other cartoonists, such as Yves Rodier, have produced their own finished, unauthorized versions of the story. Critical reception of the work has been mixed; some commentators on The Adventures of Tintin believe that if Tintin and Alph-Art had been completed, it would have been an improvement over the previous two volumes (Flight 714 to Sydney and Tintin and the Picaros), while others have characterised such assessments as wishful thinking.

Synopsis

Tintin and Captain Haddock receive a phone call from their friend, the opera singer Bianca Castafiore, who informs them about a new spiritual leader whom she has begun following, Endaddine Akass, stating her intention to stay at his villa in Ischia. Later that day, Haddock enters the Fourcart Gallery in Brussels, where Jamaican avant-garde artist Ramó Nash convinces him to purchase one of his "Alph-Art" works, a perspex letter "H" ("Personalph-Art"). The gallery's owner, Henri Fourcart, arranges to meet Tintin, but is killed in a car accident while on his way to do so. Tintin begins to investigate, discovering that Fourcart's death was murder. Tintin and Haddock attend one of Akass' lectures; there, Tintin recognises Akass' voice, but is unsure why. Investigating further, he concludes that Akass was spying on Fourcart through a micro-transmitter hidden in a pendant worn by the latter's assistant, Martine Vandezande. Tintin soon faces two attacks designed to kill him, but survives both.

To further his investigations, Tintin decides to visit Akass' villa. Arriving at Ischia, Tintin and Haddock receive death threats warning them to leave. When Castafiore hears that they are on the island, she welcomes them to Akass' villa, informing them that Akass is currently in Rome. At the villa, they meet a number of acquaintances, the corrupt industrialists W.R. Gibbons (from The Blue Lotus) and R.W. Trickler (from The Broken Ear), Emir Ben Kalish Ezab (from Land of Black Gold), Luigi Randazzo (a singer), and Ramó Nash. Tintin and Haddock stay the night at the villa on Castafiore's insistence. During the night, Tintin witnesses men loading canvases into a van, and exploring the villa discovers a room full of faked paintings by prominent artists. He is discovered by Akass, who informs him that he uses Nash's "Alph-Art" as a front for his criminal forgery business. Akass declares his intention to kill Tintin by having him covered in liquid polyester and sold as a work of art by César Baldaccini.
