Steed and "Tintin et Milou"

He is reading two of my favourite Tintin comics "The secret od the Unicorn" and "Tintin in Tibet", which is about a real Chinese friend of Hergé.

It also looks like he's reading "The Blue Lotus" and "The Land Of Black Gold" in French. How Continental!

TinTin's absolutely massive in Quebec, and most of the French communities. Anglos read it, too, though. :wink:

I always thought, that Steed was often playing chess in "The Avengers" from season 2 to season 5, but I found only four episodes: Room without a view, Lobster quadrille, Concerto and The Masterminds. :?
Maybe I missed some?
