Tintin: Hergé & his Creation

By Harry Thompson

Published Jan 2010

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’.
