Tintin as an adult?

When people talk about Tintin they often mention reading it for the first time as a kid, and the nostalgia they have for it. Almost every adult I know who has read Tintin, or still reads Tintin, read it in their childhood.

But as someone who never read or saw anything Tintin as a child, are these comics still worth getting into? How important is nostalgia for making these 'good' for adult readers?

I tried looking in my local library and my local bookstore, neither had any Tintin.

I recently read Calvin and Hobbes for the first time, and even though most people read them for the first time as a kid, they were fantastic to approach for the first time as an adult (and without nostalgia).

I would also like to hear from other older readers who tried Tintin for the first time, and who never read it when they were young. Did you enjoy it?
