Herge: The Man Who Created Tintin

Blistering barnacles! The first biography in English of the creator of Tintin, perhaps the best known cartoon character of the past hundred years. Soon to be made into a trilogy of feature-length films by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, this iconic strip is sure to gather legions of new fans. Peter Assouline here reveals the life and art of Georges Prosper Remis, better known as Herge. Millions of his books sold throughout the world but, as this shows, the impact of Herge's work goes far beyond their popularity - his pioneering use of clean line drawing had a profound influence on art, from Warhol to Lichtenstein, and he revolutionised the comic book art form.
