Tintin travels to North America, where he confronts Chicago's formidable gangster syndicate, including the famous Al Capone. Hergé's initial idea was to build his story around the Native American people, who had always fascinated him, but then he also wanted to show as much of America as possible: the deserts and prairies, modern industries and big cities, alcohol prohibition, gangsters, cowboys, and the exploitation of the Native Americans, denouncing how they were expelled from their lands when oil was found there.
Tintin in America began to be published on September 3, 1931, in Le Petit Vingtième, at a rate of two plates per week, where it would be edited for a year. As in the case of Tintin in the Congo, the color version of the album was made in 1945, benefiting from the progress that practice and experience had given Hergé over these years, already achieving great mastery and command of the language of visual storytelling, where the images narrate by themselves, without waiting for the text to do so.
