The Adventures of Tintin
 |
The Adventures of Tintin (French: Les Aventures de Tintin) is a series of comic books created by Belgian artist Georges Remi (1907–1983), who wrote under the pen name of Hergé. The series is one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century, with translations published in more than 50 languages and more than 200 million copies of the books sold to date. The series first appeared in French in Le Petit Vingtième, a children's supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le XXe Siècle on 10 January 1929. The success of the series saw the serialised strips published in Belgium's leading newspaper Le Soir and spun into a successful Tintin magazine. Then in 1950, Hergé created Studios Hergé. The studios produced the canon series of twenty-four albums. The Adventures of Tintin have been adapted for radio, television, theatre, and film. |
