Tintin and Alph-Art

Bianca Castfiore becomes enthralled with a spiritual \"guru\" and a modernist artist. Tintin and Captain Haddock investigate, finally following the crowd to a retreat on Ischia. There they discover that the whole business is a front for art forgeries. Tintin is captured, then led off at gunpoint to be killed, encased in polyester, and sold as a statue. [Here the story breaks off, due to Hergé's death.]
