Different laws may apply world wide. Ie: in Europe is not about the publication date, but author life-span (author's works get in public domain 70 years it's death: TinTin gets in PD in EU in the 2054)

Does this mean we can freely distribute Tintin in Thailand now? Outstanding piece, everyone should read it!

I don't think so, since a lot of the content in that one is from late tintin stories.

This would only be the first Tintin story, and the contents therein, that are free use... Which would be what, land of Soviets, Congo, America?

Soviets. And that early version of Tintin is rough.

Yea, god they are hellishly racist. Still love them as a product of their time.

Still funny though, almost Monty Python-esque at times.
