Hergeby ~MortenEng21

This is my tribute to one of my inspired heroes, Herge the creator of Tintin.

I love the Tintin books and the TV series "The Adventures of Tintin"(I really enjoyed for the first time).

He was a amazing artist. He had a style of you can see from cars, underwater sub marines and rockets.
He was truly a great and good artist in Belgian comics.

NICE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT TINTIN (3 parts on YouTube):

Georges Prosper Remi (22 May 1907 - 3 March 1983), better known by the pen name Herge was a Belgian comics writer and artist. "Herge" is the French pronunciation of "RG", his initials reversed. 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. He was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2003.

The notable qualities of the Tintin stories include their vivid humanism, a realistic feel produced by meticulous and wide ranging research, and Herge's ligne claire drawing style. Adult readers enjoy the many satirical references to the history and politics of the 20th century. The Blue Lotus, for example, was inspired by the Mukden incident that led to the Chinese-Japanese War of 1934. King Ottokar's Sceptre could be read against the background of Hitler's Anschluss or in the context of the struggle between the Romanian Iron Guard and the King of Romania, Carol II; whilst later albums such as The Calculus Affair depict the Cold War. Herge has become one of the most famous Belgians worldwide and Tintin is still an international success. Herge's work was heavily influenced by his involvement since his youth with Scouting. The long-awaited Herge Museum was opened in Louvain-La-Neuve on June 2, 2009. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Christian de Portzamparc, the museum reflects Herge's huge corpus of work which has, until now, been sitting in studios and bank vaults.
