Tintin
Jean-Marc, Randy Lofficier
Editora: Pocket Essentials
Sinopse
The Essential Tintin Guide gives us a history of our hero, a biography of his creator Hergé, as well as a chapter tracing the origins of the character. It then goes on to examine all the books in the series, including details about their publication history, and also media productions related to the series. Bang up to date, it mentions the latest media incarnation, providing interesting information about the long gestation of the project. The whole is a fascinating tale because the stories are also placed within the context of understanding comic-books as an art form and the whole is set against the backdrop of the turmoil of twentieth century history. As the authors declare, 'Tintin [is] the perfect symbol of the twentieth century, a true witness to our era.' Of particular interest is the fascinating biography of the artist Hergé, which details his work as an illustrator on small publications, leading to the creation of Tintin, and then the growth of the character's popularity. It also discusses the dark years during World War II, when Belgium was invaded by Nazi Germany, before charting the success of the character post-war. The books were very much of their time and the generational and racial aspects are mentioned within the text with commentary on alterations to the books that addressed some of these issues. The familiar anglicised names are used throughout but we are informed of the characters' original names (Snowy, for example, was originally called Milou).
