Description
The world’s most famous travelling reporter heads for Russia.
Accompanied by his dog Snowy, Tintin leaves Brussels to go undercover in Soviet Russia. His attempts to research his story are put to the test by the Bolsheviks and Moscow’s secret police . . .
Join the most iconic character in comics as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure spanning historical and political events, and thrilling mysteries. Still selling over 100,000 copies every year in the UK and having been adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson.
The Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 80 years after they first found their way into publication. Since then an estimated 230 million copies have been sold, proving that comic books have the same power to entertain children and adults in the 21st century as they did in the early 20th. Tintin in the Land of the Soviets remains the only adventure not to have had its artwork coloured.
Georges Prosper Remi, known by the pen name Hergé was a Belgian cartoonist. He is best known for creating The Adventures of Tintin, the series of comic albums which are considered one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century. He was also responsible for two other well-known series, Quick & Flupke (1930–40) and Jo, Zette and Jocko (1936–57). His works were executed in his distinct ligne claire drawing style.
Hergé created The Adventures of Tintin in 1929 at the advice of its editor Norbert Wallez. Revolving around the actions of boy reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy, the series' early installments – Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, Tintin in the Congo, and Tintin in America – were designed for children.
Hergé - creator of the characters Tintin, Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus - was an extremely successful author. Sales of Tintin books had surpassed 10 million copies worldwide. On 27 June 1962, for the occasion of Canada-Belgium week, Radio-Canada broadcast an interview with Hergé conducted by Judith Jasmin, recorded in the garden of the cartoonist's house in Céroux-Mousty. The interview shows Hergé discussing the beginning of his artistic career, Tintin's popularity with children and comic strip translations...
