THE LATE HERGE WAS EUROPE'S BEST
KNOWN GRAPHIC ARTIST. DURING HIS LIFETIME HE SOLD OVER 100 MILLION
COPIES OF THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN
Tintin,
a young reporter from Brussels, and his sidekick Milou, a small talking
dog, would see to it that no injustice went unpunished, whether it was
in Chicago, Delhi, Shanghai, Cairo, Belgium, the Caribbean or some
imaginary countries.
The
Pop Hop edition came late in Tintin's history and only received a
limited success for 2 main reasons: for one thing, they were extremely
expensive to produce, due to the mechanisms and the fact that their main
audience, children, would love nothing better than to maim the books.
