[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8491475, member: 18"] Except that's not actually true. It's one of those things people say, but, Tintin Au Congo not being available in English, for example, didn't create massive demand. It just meant serious Tintin collectors wanted it, but no more than they wanted other obscure Tintin stuff, which wasn't "banned", just "unavailable". Stigma does matter, and why something isn't available can influence how much people want it. Hardcore collectors always want everything totally regardless of the reasons. They're a tiny bit of the market, though. Edgelords are the only people who specifically want things because they've been can't have them because they're racist or w/e (when we're talking media). EDIT - Just to double-down on this, I should point out, Tintin In the land of the Soviets, which whilst pretty crap (it's basically a lengthy propaganda screed that even Herge was pretty disgusted with in later life and himself had avoided updating), was never actively rejected in the UK (unlike Tintin Au Congo, which the British Tintin publisher intentionally refused to publish - i.e. "banned"), got an English translation before Tintin Au Congo, sometime in the mid or late 1980s, because there was much more demand for that.
