Tintin was written by Herge - alias
Georges Remi, the supreme master of the cartoon format.
Born in Brussels in 1907 he joined the daily Le XXe Siecle
immediately after completing his secondary studies.
His career in publishing was interrupted by military service and
war service but on January 10 1929 Tintin first appeared in Le
Petit Vingtieme. Other cartoon series appeared, and also
book illustrations, magazine covers, drawings and a large amount
of advertising work under the Atelier Herge stamp. Tintin sells 200 million
copies worldwide and has been translated into 50 languages.

The Blue Lotus
(1936) Poster
from ALL POSTERS.COM
Tintin's Chinese
adventure was inspired by Herge's meeting with Chang Chong Chen
on whom the missing character in 1958's TINTIN in Tibet
is based. This story of Japan's occupation of northern China and
its withdrawal from the League of Nations was so close to the
truth that the imperial government threatened to sever diplomatic
relations with Belgium.

Begins with
the mysterious accident of an archaeological expedition recently
returned from Peru - an echo of the Tutankamen curse, and the
kidnapping of Calculus. It culminated in Prisoners of the
Sun (1949) with Tintin's and the captain's trek thro the
Andes in search of their friend and their discovery of the lost
Inca Kingdom.

Neil Armstrong's small
step for man with the Apollo mission had already been introduced
to Tintin readers 15 years before! This story is comparable with
the adventure science fiction of Jules Verne and J.G. Wells.

The Chariots
of the Gods craze was in full swing when Herge embarked
on this thriller in which Tintin's airliner is hijacked en route
to Sydney, encounters extra-terrestrials and at the end it is
suggested that it might have been all a dream!
