Hergé

Embark on a lifetime of adventure with Hergé (1907–1983), the Belgian cartoonist whose creation of The Adventures of Tintin made him one of the most influential comic artists in history. Over 24 albums, Hergé followed the intrepid young reporter Tintin, his faithful fox terrier Snowy, and the irascible Captain Haddock across the globe — from the Sahara to the Himalayas, from the moon to the Amazon — in stories that combined thrilling adventure, sharp humour, and meticulous research. With over 200 million copies sold worldwide and translations into more than 70 languages, Tintin remains one of the greatest achievements in the history of comics.
