Tintin first appeared in the weekly children's newspaper Le Petit Vingtieme, on January 19th, 1929. As the serialized Tintin comic strips appeared, they were collated into book form. Herge was known for the extensive research that went into each Tintin story. His quest for accuracy enhanced the adventures with local color and detail. For example, in The Blue Lotus, every street sign, wall hanging, and Chinese character is correct. Tintin adventures also portrayed the political mood of the time.
Herge died in 1983. Per Herge’s request, no new adventures have been published, however, many volumes of the Adventures of Tintin were compiled into various book publications, and have become treasured family heirlooms. Collectors or “Tintinologs”(specialists of Tintin’s world) find outlets for their passion in the many publications,animated cartoons, statuettes, games, art pieces, publicity and merchandising items that have been created around the theme of Tintin’s adventures.
The Tintin Collection
Herge created twenty-three Adventures of Tintin stories, which have been translated into 51 languages (including Malay, Esperanto, Gallician, and Welch). More than 200 million books have been sold, two full length movies have been created, and a number of animated video episodes have exposed The Adventures of Tintin to an enormous audience.
