Th French: Les Aventures de Tintin Dutch: De avonturen van Kuifje Spanish: Las aventuras de Tintín Deutsch: Tim und Struppi Italian: Le avventure di Tintin Portuguese: As aventuras de Tintim The Adventures of Tintin (Les Aventures de Tintin) is a series of comic strips created by the Belgian artist Georges Rémi (1907–1983), who wrote under the pen name of Hergé. 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 collected into a series of twenty-four albums, spun into a successful magazine and adapted for film, radio, television and theatre. Set during a largely realistic 20th century, the hero of the series is Tintin, a young Belgian reporter. He is aided in his adventures from the beginning by his faithful fox terrier dog Snowy (Milou in French).

Later, popular additions to the cast included the brash, cynical and grumpy Captain Haddock, the highly intelligent but hearing-impaired Professor Calculus (Professeur Tournesol) and other supporting characters such as the incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson (Dupont et Dupond). Hergé himself features in several of the comics as a background character, as do his assistants in some instances.

Tintin in London: new exhibition celebrates Hergé's boy wonder | Culture | The Guardian Tintin Tintin in London: new exhibition celebrates Hergé's boy wonder The free show at Somerset House explores the intrepid fictional reporter’s global fame and also examines the Belgian illustrator who created him Tintin and his sidekick, Snowy, take a break from their adventures.

Illustration: Hergé Moulinsart 2015 Wednesday 11 November 2015 14.07 EST Last modified on Thursday 12 November 2015 06.06 EST Close This article is 1 year old He has been honoured by the Dalai Lama , influenced the pop art of Andy Warhol and was praised by Charles de Gaulle as his “only international rival”. He is also a gay icon, considered a patron saint by some journalists, and a hero to successive generations of people across the world. Tintin the intrepid boy reporter this week comes to London for a free exhibition at Somerset House exploring, among other things, how he became such a global phenomenon. It will also examine the character’s creator, the Belgian illustrator Hergé. Blistering barnacles! Tintin is back – with added swearwords Read more The Tintin expert, Michael Farr, who has worked on the exhibition with the Hergé Foundation, said he hoped it would attract old and new fans. “It is for the person who first discovers him and goes ‘wow’ but also for the many people who are Tintin connoisseurs.

The books are full of adventure. It is really exciting, gripping, page-turning stuff and the humour is everywhere, you really do laugh out loud reading these books.” Pinterest The model of Captain Haddock’s fictional home, Marlinspike Hall, which is based on a real-life French chateau. Photograph: Ray Tang/Rex Shutterstock The exhibition includes three specially created models of Tintin scenes, including the ticker tape reception he receives after thwarting Chicago gangsters in Tintin in America . In the final room is a scale model of Marlinspike Hall, Captain Haddock’s ancestral home, which itself is modelled on Château de Cherverny in the Loire valley . A spokeswoman for Somerset House said it took four months to make, with the last of 6,000 individual roof tiles glued on last week. Tintin was created in 1929 when Hergé was working for the children’s supplement of the Belgian newspaper, Le Vingtième Siècle. “It was an instant success from that very first Thursday,” said Farr. “All the copies were sold out so they doubled the print run. It sold out so they trebled it and it sold out.

It ended up the supplement was selling more copies than the newspaper.” Pinterest The Tintin expert, Michael Farr, who has helped put the exhibition together. Photograph: Martin Godwin for the Guardian Tintin’s popularity continued throughout the 1930s, until the Catholic newspaper was closed down by the Nazis in 1940. Almost immediately he was offered a berth by Le Soir, although paper shortages meant he could not be in a supplement and so was on page 3 along with the sport, stock market, theatre listings and society notices. Le Soir was seen as a collaborationist newspaper, although Hergé was far from being a Nazi sympathiser, said Farr, who knew the illustrator personally. “The fact was people liked having Tintin in the paper, it cheered people up and it was a great morale booster. It is hard for us to fathom how popular Tintin was.” Pinterest It has been said that Tintin is an alter ego of the young Hergé, while Captain Haddock is a version of the old Hergé.

Illustration: Hergé Moulinsart 2015 After the war, Tintin became a world superstar with the now canonical series of Tintin albums, which contain stories such as Tintin in Tibet, published in the same year the Dalai Lama fled the country. But Captain Haddock, who first appeared in 1941, is the character who always comes top of popularity surveys, said Farr. If Tintin was an alter ego of a young Hergé, a fan of scouting and good deeds, then Haddock was an alter ego of an older Hergé who enjoyed drinking and swore too much. Hergé came up with the name when he asked his wife what fish was she was cooking on night. “Aiglefin,” she said, “or that boring fish they call haddock in English”. Over the years there have been controversies, not least the perceived colonialist racism of books such as Tintin in the Congo . Farr said it had not hindered Africa’s enormous enthusiasm for the books, particularly Tintin in the Congo, “a book we feel reservations about more strongly than they do in Africa. He has a universal, very multicultural appeal”.

Tintin has also been claimed as a gay icon due to his close relationship with Captain Haddock. Farr is not so sure: “Hergé would be delighted to know he had the pink appeal but knowing Hergé a bit, he loved girls too much, he had an eye for every girl, he would have seen that as the logical thing.” • Tintin: Hergé’s Masterpiece is at Somerset House in London from 12 November to 31 Jaunuary 2016. Amazon.com: Listmania! Tintin in America (The Adventures of Tintin) "THREE-STARS: "Tintin in America" portrays America with an old fashioned European prejudice that is unrealistic and unflattering. His portrayal of the Indians is borderline racist, and the plot is essentially "gangster tries to kill Tintin, Tintin miraculously escapes" repeated a couple of dozen times. Having said that, the book is still entertaining, in its own way." Tintin: Cigars of the Pharaoh "FOUR STARS: The Cigars of the Pharaoh is the first of the better Tintin books.

In this adventure Tintin is on a holiday cruise but ends up traveling to Egypt and India on a dangerous adventure. It is an exciting and mysterious adventure that is not objectionable (unlike the three first ones)." The Blue Lotus (The Adventures of Tintin) "FIVE STARS: This is Herge's first master piece; it is one of my favorites. This Tintin adventure from 1934 takes place in 1931 but is still the second best Tintin (after Tintin in Tibet) as far as I am concerned. Tintin is fighting Opium gangs in China when Japan invades. Dark, scary, exciting and fun. It is also a history lesson to a certain extent." The Broken Ear (The Adventures of Tintin) "FOUR STARS: This story from 1937 takes place in South America. Tintin fights dangerous crooks, gets caught up in political turmoil, is nearly executed, travels through the rain forest, encounters pirhanas, and lives among the Arumbaya indians. This is where Tintin meets General Alcazar for the first time.

Lots of action but it is still not a top quality Tintin." The Black Island (The Adventures of Tintin) "FOUR STARS: This one was written 1937. It takes place in England and Scotland. I saw the movie version, and read the book in several languages. In this adventure Tintin is hunting down a gang of forgers. The drawings have a higher quality than "The broken ear" and the story flows smoothly. However, I find the story to be somewhat tedious and too British for me, and this is not one my favorites." King Ottokar's Sceptre (The Adventures of Tintin) "FOUR STARS: Published in 1939 this book is an allegory for fascist aggression. In this adventure Tintin visits the mythical Kingdom of Syldavia. The leaders of Borduria, a neighboring country, plots to unseat King Muskar. They attempt to seize the symbol of the Syldavian monarchy, which is "King Ottokar's Scepter".

This adventure was exciting but still not a favorite of mine." The Crab with the Golden Claws (The Adventures of Tintin) "FIVE STARS: This was the first Tintin I read as a kid (in Swedish). It was also the first Tintin movie I saw. This is the book where Tintin met Captain Haddock for the first time. Just like the other later works by Herge it is exciting, and well drawn, but this is one is also very funny. It will make you and your kids laugh out loud." The Shooting Star (The Adventures of Tintin) "FOUR STARS: In this adventure (from 1941) the world comes close to annihilation when earth almost collides with a star. Tintin and Captain Haddock sets out on an expedition together with a team of international scientists to find a piece that broke off and landed in the Ocean. Well, stars are not solid and pieces don't brake off stars, but there are a lot more oddities in this unlikely story." The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn "FOUR STARS: This adventure was published in French 1943.

This is the first book in a series of two (the second being Red Rackhams treasure). In this adventure it is discovered that Captain Haddocks forefather was a feisty sea captain who fought pirates and left a treasure behind. It is not as fast paced as many other Tintin adventures and contains a considerable amount of detective work." Red Rackham's Treasure (The Adventures of Tintin) "FOUR STARS: This is the second book in a series of two, the first one being "The secret of the Unicorn". In this adventure Tintin and Captain Haddock goes on an expedition to find the treasure of Sir Francis Haddock. It is in this book we meet Professor Calculus for the first time. His underwater machine turns out to be invaluable, even though Tintin and Captain Haddock at first reject it." The Seven Crystal Balls (The Adventures of Tintin) "FIVE STARS: This Tintin published 1948, is eerie, mysterious, and exciting. It is the first one of a series of two, the second being "Prisoners of the Sun".

In this adventure the members of an expedition that investigated the tomb of Rascar Capac an Inca King, become sick with a strange horrible disease. The mummy taken from the tomb mysteriously vanishes (escapes?) during a fierce thunderstorm." Prisoners of the Sun (The Adventures of Tintin) "FIVE STARS: This is the second book of a series of two. Tintin and company end up in Peru. They save a boy Zorrino from Peruvian racists. Zorrino guides them to the Inca Empire which still exists underground in the Jungle. Towards the end Tintin saves himself and his company by using his knowledge of a coming solar eclipse. It was later plagiarized by Mel Gibson in Apocalypto." Land of Black Gold (The Adventures of Tintin) "FOUR STARS: This book was published in 1950 (original version 1948). It takes place in the middle east and is about oil, war, and the fight against criminals like Dr. Muller (German villains were no longer taboo).

Prince Abdullah the son of the Emir of the Arab Emirate of Khemed is kidnapped and Tintin and company sets out to rescue him." Destination Moon (The Adventures of Tintin) "FOUR STARS: First published 1953, this is the first book in a series of two (the second being Explorers of the moon). A very good concept, a sort of Tintin science fiction. However, it is not fast paced and at times tedious." Explorers on the Moon (The Adventures of Tintin) "FIVE STARS: Written 1954 this is the second book in a series of two. This book is a lot more exciting and fun compared to the first (Destination moon). The movie is, however, better than the comic book (they are the same but this comic makes a good movie). However, reading this science fiction style comic book is a lot of fun." The Calculus Affair (The Adventures of Tintin) "FOUR STARS: In this adventure Professor Calculus is kidnapped in Geneva and Tintin and Captain Haddock set out to save him.

It turns out that Professor calculus is working on a secret weapon that the fictional country of Borduria really wants to have. It is an exciting adventure but not as humor filled and exhilarating as some of the other adventures. It was written 1956." The Red Sea Sharks (The Adventures of Tintin) "FIVE STARS: This adventure was written in 1958. Tintin stumbles into an organization selling African slaves (slavery still existed in the middle east and Africa in 1958). A lot of old crooks from other books show up here, including Captain Allan, Rastapopolous, Dr. Muller, etc. This book is intensely exciting and full of action and is therefore one of my favorites." Tintin in Tibet (The Adventures of Tintin) "FIVE STARS++: It was published 1960. It is my favorite Tintin. Tintins friend Tchang (from Blue Lotus) is lost in a plane crash in Tibet. Everyone thinks he is dead, but not Tintin, who sets out to find him against all odds.

It contains adventure, humor, and mystery; however, it is also about the human spirit, and compassion. Therefore it is also a very inspiring and thought provoking adventure." The Castafiore Emerald (The Adventures of Tintin) "FIVE STARS: This adventure was published 1963. It is absolutely the funniest of them all. It is filled with a lot of good humor. However, to get all the jokes you need to be familiar with Tintin and Captain Haddock already. So I would not recommend this as your first Tintin." Flight 714 (The Adventures of Tintin) "FIVE STARS: This book was published in 1968. Tintin and his friends are invited to fly in the private jet of the billionaire Lazlo Careidas. The private jet is hijacked and they are taken by their kidnappers to a very mysterious Island.

This adventure is filled with surprises, humor, it is fast paced and exciting, and is therefore one of my favorites." Tintin - Tintin and the Lake of Sharks "FOUR STARS: Published 1974 and based on a film from 1972, it is a little different than the other Tintin adventures. It is not directly written by Herge, but Herge supervised the creation of the film. The drawings are not typical either; they look like still pictures from the movie. It is also a little shorter. However, it is still a good adventure and my kids like it, so I give it four stars." Tintin Comic Books (Graphic Books) by Herge - COMICS - Graphic/Illust COMICS - Graphic/Illustrated Books for Children/Young Adults :: Tintin Comic Books (Graphic Books) by Herge Tintin Comic Books (Graphic Books) by Herge The Adventures of Tintin (French: Les Aventures de Tintin) is a series of comic albums (graphic books) created by Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi (1907-1983), who wrote under the pen name Herge.

The series was one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century. By the time of the centenary of Herge's birth in 2007, Tintin had been published in more than 70 languages with sales of more than 200 million copies. The series first appeared in French on 10 January 1929 in Le Petit Vingtieme, a youth supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le eiecle. The success of the series saw the serialised strips published in Belgium's leading newspaper Le Soir and spun into a successful Tintin magazine.Ever since 24 volumes have been published under this canonical series. The series is set during a largely realistic 20th century. Its hero is Tintin, a young Belgian reporter. He is aided by his faithful fox terrier dog Snowy (Milou in the original French edition).

Later, popular additions to the cast included the brash and cynical Captain Haddock, the highly intelligent but hearing-impaired Professor Calculus (French: Professeur Tournesol), and other supporting characters such as the incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson (French: Dupont et Dupond) and the opera diva Bianca Castafiore. The series has been admired for its clean, expressive drawings in Herge's signature ligne claire ("clear line") style. Its well-researched plots straddle a variety of genres: swashbuckling adventures with elements of fantasy, mysteries, political thrillers, and science fiction.
