Join the most iconic character in comics as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure spanning historical and political events, and thrilling mysteries. Still selling over 100,000 copies every year in the UK and having been adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson in 2011.

The Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 90 years after they first found their way into publication. Since then more than 230 million copies have been sold, proving that comic books have the same power to entertain children and adults in the 21st century as they did in the early 20th.

Hergé (Georges Remi) was born in Brussels in 1907. Over the course of 54 years he completed over 20 titles in The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of all time.

A propos du livre

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
