Gibbons is an American criminal worker who appears in Tintin in the Congo in The Adventures of Tintin series. He is first seen as Tintin disguised as Tom when he heard that Tintin is dead, not knowing that Tom was actually Tintin, after Tom's death. He was listening while his back was turned, and Tintin hit him with a rifle. He was then tied up and smacked for an interrogation. Tintin now learned that Al Capone is the headmaster of the mission to kill Tintin. Afterwards, Tintin and Snowy took Gibbons to police custody.
