  Tintin comic magazine
Tintin was the Belgian magazine for realistic comics during the second half of the 20th Century.
Tintin always had a healthy competition with its rival magazine Spirou.
He was relieved to leave Tintin after fulfilling his contractual obligation, but 'Modeste et Pompon' was continued for several years by artists like Dino Attanasio, Mittéï, Griffo and Walli and Bom.

  Science Fair Projects - Hergé
Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, by "Hergé", appeared in the pages of Le Petit Vingtième on January 10, 1929, and ran until May 8, 1930.
The character of Tintin was inspired by Georges' brother Paul Remi, an officer in the Belgian army.
Following his expressed desire not to have Tintin handled by another artist, it was published posthumously as a set of sketches and notes in 1986.

And the stage version of Tintin in Tibet, the 20th of Hergé's 23 graphic novels, published in 1960, is currently packing 'em in at London's Young Vic, a fast-paced alternative to the traditional British Christmas pantomime.
Tintin and his friends, including his canine companion Snowy, the tipsy Captain Haddock, incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson and mad scientist, Professor Calculus, continue to delight readers of all ages and cultures.
Tintin in Tibet - which Hergé called "a hymn to friendship" - was the result of a series of nightmares featuring icy whiteness which he had when his first marriage was failing during the late 1950s.

 Hergé - Glasgledius   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The notable qualities of the Tintin stories include their vivid humanism, a realistic feel produced by meticulous and wide-ranging research, and Hergé's Ligne Claire ("clear line") drawing style, distinctive for its clean delineation and the absence of shading.
Published in Tintin magazine from September 1958 to November 1959, Tintin in Tibet sent Tintin to the Himalayas in search of Chang, the Chinese boy he had befriended in The Blue Lotus.
Tintin's financial success allowed Hergé to devote more of his time to travel.

 Buzzwords Blog: 3AM Magazine: 3:AM REVIEW: TOM McCARTHY'S TINTIN AND THE SECRET OF LITERATURE
Tintin is master of the dummy-chamber: "he uncovers [treasure] in order to hide [filiation], deciphers in order to help re-encrypt, marks in order to erase".
McCarthy, like Serge Tisseron in Tintin et le secret d'Herge, explores the possibility that it is Captain Haddock's crypt we enter again and again, and points to the parallels between the rumours of Herge's own family life and that of Haddock, namely the possibility that both are of aristocratic descent.
Tintin literally means 'nothing' -- "his face, round as an O with two pinpricks for eyes, is what Herge himself described as 'the degree zero of typeage' -- a typographic vanishing point" -- and is like Joseph Conrad's Kurtz, "hollow at the core".

 Movie Forums - View Single Post - The Adventures of Tintin
Tintin was envisioned as a travelling correspondent for the newspaper's cartoon supplement, Le Petit Vingtieme (the little 20th) and Herge's cartoon strip portrayed Tintin travelling around the world and having all sorts of kooky adventures, which involved a combination of slapstick, situation comedy and social satire and commentary.
The collaborators are partially responsible for the characteristic style in which Tintin adventures came to be famous and appreciated world-wide.
They deserve their fair stake in Tintin, and the privilege of continuing his adventures, in my opinion, even though the originary creative mind has passed on.

 Science Fair Projects - Blake and Mortimer
During the first years of Tintin magazine (also Le journal de Tintin) the series "The secret of the Swordfish" (Le secret de l'Espadon) by Jacobs was paradoxically more popular than the adventures of Tintin, appearing also in a serial form in the same magazine.
This was due to the fact that the "Swordfish" series started with the first issue of Tintin magazine, while the adventures of Tintin in the first issue confusingly took up The Seven Crystal Balls, a story in progress abandoned three years earlier during the war, when it had been serialised in a newspaper.
As with Tintin, the first two titles are relatively crude and simplistic in their worldview, but thankfully this is all resolved by the third title, La Marque jaune.

 In Defence of Hergé
Tintin was not to continue for another two years—but Hergé couldn't remain idle.
In 1954, Tintin's American publishers insisted that the antagonists of the adventure were changed from being Americans, and he complied and came up with the fictitious Såo Rico, though Bohlwinkel remained.
But the story was written in 1930, and all he did was reflect the colonial attitudes of the time—Hergé said himself that he had depicted his Africans according to the bourgeois, paternalistic stereotypes of the period—and that is all he knew at the time.

I grew up with Tintin books, and my kids are now at an age where they are beyond "See Spot Run" but don't always have the patience for a full-length book.
"Tintin in Tibet" is one of my favourites, a great Tintin story used by Herge to draw attention to Red China's invasion and annexation of Tibet, and the cultural heritage the Communists set about to destroy.

Tintin first appeared on 10 January, 1929, in a story entitled 'Tintin in the Land of the Soviets', which had more in common with subsequent post-war cold war propaganda than Hergé's later work.
After the publication of the third Tintin story, 'Tintin in America', in which our hero takes on gangsters, and witnesses American Indians being driven from their land, each Tintin story was published as an 'album' after it had finished its run in the newspaper.

Tintin heads to Charabang, a village near the mountain where Blessed Lightning said Chang was.
Tintin's enduring belief in Chang having survived the crash, the discovery of the teddy bear in the snow, Haddock attempting to sacrifice himself to save Tintin, Tharkey's return, the serenity of the lamas, Tintin's discovery of Chang and the yeti having lost his only friend are intensely powerful moments.

While working on the magazine, he achieved the remarkable design feat of changing the magazine's logo every issue, and in 1981, he developed a new art style for a series of one-page gags, which would later move to another magazine, FLUIDE GLACIEL, when LE TROMBONE closed.

"Tintin and the Secret of Literature (Granta, 2006) is a fascinating look at the themes and patterns behind Herge's Tintin.
Tom McCarthy takes a cue from Tintin himself, who spends much of his time tracking down illicit radio signals, entering crypts and decoding puzzles, and suggests that we too need to 'tune in' and decode if we want to capture what's going on in Herge's work.
His startling conclusion is that Tintin's ultimate 'secret' may well be that of literature itself.

 The Comics Journal Message Board :: View topic - Tintin: Casterman Hardcover Editions
This past week at the comic shop, there were a few shrink-wrapped hardcover volumes by Casterman that intrigued me and looked as though they might be a nice "definitive edition" for the bookshelves so I grabbed one and was surprised when I got home to find that it was in fl and white.
During the latter part of the 20th century Casterman gradually replaced the color cloth binding with squareback standard binding and typeset titles on the spine, and "upgrade" the paper to slicker, whiter paper.
Another note for newbies: the first Tintin album, "Tintin au Pays des Soviets" was not reworked, but quietly retired after a few years.

He was publicly accused of being a Nazi/Rexist sympathizer, a claim which was largely unfounded, as the Tintin adventures published during the war were scrupulously free of politics (the only dubious point occurring in The Shooting Star, which showed a rival scientific expedition flying the Flag of the United States).
'Tintin in the Congo' (or similar) was a bit dodgy.

And for Tintin and Haddock's unexpected visit to Szohod, Hergý based most of the city on bits and pieces from the USSR--after all, it began in TINTIN magazine in 1954, the height of the Cold War.
