The art is indeed wonderful. Other than the occasional gratuitous nudity, the story does read well. I however simply see no reason for four letter words throughout. It adds "absolutely nothin" to the plot - think Motown’s anthem 'WAR'. Obvious weak links to Hergé's classic Tintin are:1- the omelettes made from red-speckled eggs [based on the speckled 'mushroom' astrolith in l'Ile Mysterieuse -[The Shooting Star]; 2- the kid's hair tuff; and lastly 3- his 'punk Tintin' t-shirt. Ironically the green swearing #37 alien and similar cronies have a link to Hergé's past associate and eventual creator of the Blake et Mortimer stories, E.P. Jacobs – but that is for another time. I gave this book 3.5/5 for story and graphics but I “x’ed out” on the language – thereby lowering the overall score.
