About Tintin
TINTIN might be the hero everyone would like to be, but is surely the friend everybody would like to have. This friend who would do anything for the ones he cares about. Today, the Adventures of Tintin still resonates vibrantly: They inspire artists, writers, movie and theater directors alike. Tintin embodies the universal values in which each and everyone can rely. Tintin is a unique mix, combining exciting stories, a “ligne claire” drawing style and universal themes.
Tintin is famous all over the world. Distributed worldwide, Tintin’s adventures are devoured with the same enthusiasm since its debut back in 1929 in the pages of the Petit Vingtième magazine. Who could have envisioned such a success? Definitely not its creator, Hergé (Georges Remi), autodidact comic book artist whose got lucky to publish his work during his teenage years in the pages of his homeland of Belgium’s scouts’ magazines.
