À propos de l?auteur

Né le 22 mai 1907 à Etterbeek, Georges Remi signe dans sa jeunesse de nombreuses illustrations pour des revues scoutes sous le nom d'Hergé. C'est le 10 janvier 1929 qu'il donne naissance au reporter Tintin dans les pages du Petit Vingtième, supplément pour la jeunesse d'un quotidien belge catholique. Son héros devient très vite le personnage le plus emblématique de la bande dessinée francophone. Curieux de tout ce qui fait son siècle, Hergé en a collecté les images et les signes mythique et historiques. Par son art du dessin et sa science de la narration, il a donné à la bande dessinée européenne ses lettres de noblesse. Il est mort le 3 mars 1983 à Woluwe-Saint-Lambert. © Hergé-Moulinsart
