		The comic book series has long been admired for its clean yet expressive drawings executed in Hergé's signature ligne claire style; their engaging plots; and the painstaking research done while creating the later stories.
		Haddock's surname was derived from a conversation that Hergé had with his wife, in which she mentioned that the haddock was a "sad English fish".
		This was the first in a series of stamps with the images of Belgian comic heroes to be issued in later years, and was the first stamp in the world to feature a comic hero.

	Tintin: History of English Editions
		Tintin's initial appearance in English coincided with a wave of hostility from educators and librarians against the comic strip form.
		In England, where comics were viewed with contempt, Tintin received an unexpected boost from the august Times Literary Supplement, which devoted a front page article to a scholarly and praiseworthy analysis of the Tintin phenomenon.
		"Here's a good comic," was Newseek's announcement to the U.S. in 1960, but Albert Leventhal, president of Golden Press, was quoted as saying that the United States was as far behind in the Tintin race as it was in the missile race.

	Ninth Art - Thumbnail: Hergé
		In the first in a new series, Ninth Art profiles one of the world's finest comic storytellers, the controversial creator of TINTIN, who faced depression and accusations of treachery as he worked to bring his enduring creation to the world.
		This character was based on a real acquaintance of Hergé called Chang Chong-chen, who was a student of the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium and who encouraged Hergé to more thoroughly research the countries visited by Tintin.
		However, it is a deliciously observed satire on the media (with whom Hergé was now thoroughly acquainted), and it represents perhaps the zenith of Hergé's craft as an artist.

		The reason is, it is solely confined to Marlinspike and Castafiore is truly irritating.

		It was not uncommon for male comic heroes of that era to live together, Spirou and Fantasio did (do) as well.
		(if haddock is english then is marlinspike in england?) (i know this question is all bitched up since english translation editions imply w/o ever plainly stating that tintin is english and that the action is taking place in the uk)
		Haddock seems to be English in the original stories as well (why else name him Haddock?), but Moulinsart (Marlinspike), his family castle, seems to be located in Belgium; even the name of the castle comes from the name of an actual Belgian small town, Sarmoulin.

		The book is valuable for two reasons, firstly it is interesting to compare how TinTin developed over the years, and secoundly for anyone with an interest in Soviet history, how the orginal stories in Le Soir and the book have and still are portrayed by the left as mere anti communist propoganda.
		Herges Tintin comics are Classics and probably the best of the genre.
