The story came about in part because Hergé was still searching for Zhang Chongren, having lost contact with him after he returned to China due to World War II and the Chinese Revolution. Producing the album became very difficult for him because he was undergoing a deep personal crisis a the time: His marriage was on the rocks, but as a former boy scout he felt obliged to stay with his first wife while already spending most of his time with the woman who would eventually become his second, a colorist at his studio. The psychoanalyst he consulted even advised him to abandon work on the album, but luckily for the readers he persevered. Many people consider ''Tintin in Tibet'' Hergé's most personal book.
Notable for its portrayal of a true-to-mythology Yeti, with a high pointed skull, brown fur, and unusual big toed-feet. This is in part due to Herge's friendship with none other than Bernard Heuvelmans, the man who pioneered the practice of Cryptozoology (the hunt for legendary animals like the Yeti and sea serpent), who provided information on the Yeti for the book.

Haddock doesn't believe the vision is genuine, but Tintin, after being given directions by the Abbot, travels to Charabang, a small village near the Horn of the Yak, the mountain mentioned by Blessed Lightning.
