Tintin

Tintin Hergé and His Creation

The little black-and-white cartoon figure of 'Tintin' first appeared in Belgium in 1929 in a Catholic newspaper where his creator, Herge, worked. Harry Thompson looks at the story of Herge, of 'Tintin' and his origins, and beyond to when President de Gaulle could call 'Tintin' 'his only rival'.
