Tintin: Hergé & His Creation

Plot

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

A fascinating and witty account of the life of Tintin, his creator, and the phenomenon that they became.
