Requirements: CBR Reader, 270 MB.
Overview: The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko is a comic book (or bande dessinée) series created by Hergé, the Belgian writer-artist who was best known for The Adventures of Tintin. The heroes of the series are two young children, brother and sister Jo and Zette Legrand and their pet monkey Jocko.
- Jo, Zette and Jocko appear on the rear covers of some editions of The Adventures of Tintin series but never appear in the stories, while there are a few cheeky allusions to the cosmos of the Tintin adventures within the Jo, Zette and Jocko albums.

The Adventures Of Jo Zette Jocko
- Writer(s), Artist(s): Hergé
Publisher: Casterman, 1951-1957
- Between 1936 and 1957, three complete Jo, Zette and Jocko adventures would be published, spread across five albums. Hergé however often felt restricted by the family set-up: whereas the older, more independent Tintin could just head off on any adventure, either alone or with Captain Haddock or Professor Calculus, this was not possible for Jo, Zette and Jocko whose parents had to figure large in any adventure — usually to act as their rescuers. The stories also lacked the social and political messages of the Tintin stories. In the end, these constraints led him to eventually abandon Jo, Zette and Jocko in the late-1950s.
Jo Zette dan Jocko:
- 1. The Secret Ray: The ‘Manitoba’ No Reply (Le Manitoba ne répond plus)
2. The Secret Ray: The Eruption of Karamako (L’Eruption du Karamako)
3. The Stratoship H.22: Mr. Pump’s Legacy (Le Testament de Monsieur Pump)
4. The Stratoship H.22: Destination New York (Destination New York)
5. The Valley of the Cobras (La Vallée des cobras)
- The Valley of the Cobras was the first Jo, Zette and Jocko adventure to be translated and published in English in 1986. Mr Pump’s Legacy and Destination New York followed in 1987.
The ‘Manitoba’ No Reply and The Eruption of Karamako remained unpublished (possibly due to Hergé’s unsympathetic depiction of the primitive natives of the island of Karamako, similar to Tintin in the Congo) until 1994 when they were published together in a single limited-edition double volume titled The Secret Ray.
- 1. The ‘Manitoba’ No Reply (Le Manitoba ne répond plus) (Vol. 1 of The Secret Ray)
- The transatlantic liner Manitoba breaks down on its way to England and then the passengers and crew fall strangely asleep. When they wake up it is to find that they have all been robbed of their valuables. Later, while on holiday at the seaside, Jo, Zette and Jocko, playing in a rowing boat, get lost at sea when a thick fog comes down. Rescued by a submarine, they are taken to a secret undersea base where a mad scientist has plans for the two young children.
2. The Eruption of Karamako (L’Eruption du Karamako) (Vol. 2 of The Secret Ray)
- Jo, Zette and Jocko escape the undersea base in an amphibious tank, and end up on an island. But their problems are far from over. They have to deal with cannibals, modern-day pirates, an erupting volcano, gangsters, the media and there is still the mad scientist who wants them for his evil plans.
(In one scene Zette is harassed by a representative of Cosmos Pictures which was run by Tintin’s enemy Rastapopoulos.)
3. Mr. Pump’s Legacy (Le Testament de Monsieur Pump) (Vol. 1 of The Stratoship H.22)
- Killed while exercising his love for speed in a racing car, millionaire John Archibald Pump leaves behind ten million dollars (a staggeringly large sum for those days). It will go to the builders of the first aeroplane to fly from Paris to New York at 1000 kilometres per hour. Jo and Zette’s father sets about designing such a plane, but the project comes under threat from a gang of saboteurs led by William and Fred Stockrise, Pump’s passed-over nephews, who go to all lengths, from theft to bombing, to prevent it.
(A framed photo of Captain Haddock can be seen hanging on the wall of the Legrand living-room just before Mr Legrand switches on the light to confront intruders.)
4. Destination New York (Destination New York) (Vol. 2 of The Stratoship H.22)
- When the Stratoship H.22, designed by their father, is the subject of an attempted bombing from the air, Jo and Zette fly it out of its hangar but are unable to get back. Crash-landing near the North Pole they face a race against time to get the plane back home and win the trans-Atlantic challenge. But the Stockrise brothers and their gang are still determined to thwart the operation even if it is successful.
5. The Valley of the Cobras (La Vallée des cobras)
- The Maharajah of Gopal is a bad-tempered sort of person, whose behaviour ranges from the childish to the eccentric, and his long-suffering secretary Badalah is usually on the receiving end. Nevertheless, Jo and Zette’s father agrees to build him a bridge in his kingdom. The problem is there is a group of scoundrels led by Prime Minister Ramahjuni and the evil fakir Rabindah who aren’t too keen on the idea.
