Tintin shows young readers that the world in all its complexity is theirs to bestride. The Wall Street Journal

I'm an avid fan of Tintin. Growing up, these stories captured my imagination, inspired me to travel the globe and to have adventures of my own. (Frank Gardner, 'Tintin's Adventure with Frank Gardner', BBC Two, 2011)

I became enthralled with the way Hergé told his stories. Grand, epic, global adventures about a young reporter who goes all around the world looking for stories to tell. (Steven Spielberg, 'The Adventures of Spielberg: An Interview', The New York Times, 2011)

Top 100 Children’s Book – Time Out (2022)

About the Author

Hergé (Georges Remi) was born in Brussels in 1907. His pseudonym comes from his initials backwards (R.G., as pronounced in French). Over the course of 54 years he completed 23 albums of The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of all time. With translations published in over 80 languages, more than 230 million copies sold worldwide and a Hollywood movie to its name, Tintin dominates the Comics and Graphic Novels chart even today. Sadly, Hergé died in 1983, leaving his 24th album, Tintin and Alph-Art, unfinished, but his hero continues to be one of the most iconic characters in both adult and children’s fiction.
