The Calculus Affair by Hergé is a standalone paperback edition from The Adventures of Tintin series. Published by Farshore / HarperCollins Publishers, it follows Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, and Professor Calculus in one of the series’ most detective-like mysteries.

The story begins at Marlinspike Hall, where windows, mirrors, and chandeliers begin shattering without explanation. After a shooting and a break-in, Tintin realizes that Professor Calculus may be in danger, with only an unusual packet of cigarettes as a clue.

The mystery soon develops into a tense espionage adventure involving Calculus’s scientific invention, rival powers, and the danger of technology falling into the wrong hands. With its Cold War atmosphere, chase sequences, humour, and political intrigue, this title is well suited for readers who enjoy classic comics, mystery adventures, and graphic novels.
