Le Secret de La Licorne began serialisation as a daily strip in newspaper Le Soir from 11 June 1942.[32] As with previous adventures, it then began serialisation in the French Catholic newspaper Cœurs Vaillants, from 19 March 1944.[32] In Belgium, it was then published in a 62-page book format by Editions Casterman in 1943.[32] Now fully coloured,[33] the book included a new cover design created by Hergé after he had completed the original serialisation of the story,[34] along with six large colour drawings.[35] The first printing sold 30,000 copies in Francophone Belgium.[36]
Biographer Pierre Assouline stated that the story was "clearly influenced ... in spirit if not in detail" by Robert Louis Stevenson's book, Treasure Island in that it "seemed to cater to a need for escapism".[45] He described the adventure as "a new development in Hergé's work, a flight from the topical to epics of pirate adventures set in distant horizons".[45] Assouline also expressed the view that the ancestral figure of Sir Francis Haddock reflected Hergé's attempt to incorporate one of his own family secrets, that he had an aristocratic ancestor, into the story.[46]
Literary critic Tom McCarthy highlighted the scene in which Tintin was imprisoned in the Marlinspike crypt, observing that it had parallels with Tintin's exploration of tombs and other secret chambers throughout the series.[52] He identified the mystery left in Francis Haddock's parchments to be another appearance of Tintin's adventures being "framed by enigmas".[53] To this he adds that in solving the enigma, Tintin shows that he is "the best reader" in the series, and it is this which establishes him as "the oeuvre's hero".[54] McCarthy praised Hergé's Silk as one of the pivotal characters in the series who can "exude a presence far beyond that which we might expect from a novelist, let alone a cartoonist".[55] 2b1af7f3a8
