Description
The silhouette of Tintin is easily one of the most recognisable visual icons of the modern world. In this fully revised and expanded edition of the popular pocket-sized reference book, the authors offer a comprehensive and critical overview of the Tintin books. Starting with the character’s humble origins in the 20s, the authors track Tintin’s development and success throughout the ages, analyzing each book in detail, as well as the multitude of spin-offs. The update is perfectly timed for the Centenary of the birth of Herge, with major exhibitions scheduled worldwide.
