Prisoners of the Sun (French: Le Temple du Soleil) is the fourteenth of The Adventures of Tintin, the series of comic albums written and illustrated by Belgian artist Hergé, featuring young reporter Tintin as the hero. It is a continuation of The Seven Crystal Balls, and is one of very few Tintin books to directly carry on the story of the preceding title. The two books were adapted into a 1969 film, Tintin and the Temple of the Sun by Belvision. It has been also adapted into two episodes of the 1990s television series The Adventures of Tintin, a video game, and a musical stage production.
