About the author

Georges Prosper Remi (22 May 1907 – 3 March 1983), better known by the pen name Hergé, was a Belgian comics writer and artist.
His best known and most substantial work is The Adventures of Tintin comic book series, which he wrote and illustrated from 1929 until his death in 1983, leaving the twenty-fourth Tintin adventure Tintin and Alph-Art unfinished. His work remains a strong influence on comics, particularly in Europe.

"Hergé" is the pseudonym of George Remí, making a game with the initials of his name inverted. Throughout the evolution of his star character, Tintin, we can see the progress of this author: from the first titles marked by the ultraconservative doctrine of the director of the newspaper Le Petit Vingtième, to the breaking of conventions embodied from The Blue Lotus , as well as the evolution of the society of his time. The research carried out by Hergé to historically contextualize his Adventures, as well as his implicit social criticism, have made Tintin a masterpiece of the 20th century.

Reviews

2 solid Tintin adventures and one stone-cold classic

[Stephen Rötzsch Thomas · Rating 2 out of 5]

Some of Tintin's weaker adventures collected here, culminating in probably my least favourite tale, The Castafiore Emerald - a story rife with offensive portrayals of travellers, and almost completely lacking in plot.

[Rudra Shankar Mitra · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really nice book. It's great to get Tintin in such a collection. However I do think that there should have been a contents page. Also, I didn't like "The Red Sea Sharks" much.
