[EAN: 9780340523933], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: Hodder & Stoughton], COMIC BOOK & CARTOON ART,BIOGRAPHY: GENERAL, Jacket, 232 pages. Shelf wear. Ex-library.Tintin, the young reporter, has become a worldwide cartoon phenomenon, rivalled only by Aste rix, a cult with a following among adults and children alike. How did this apparently simple character gain such a hold? What is t he secret of his appeal? And what was his shadowy creator - Georg es Remi, Herge, really like? Harry Thompson, a lifelong Tintin fa n, has written a dual biography. On the one hand he charts Tintin 's progress from a doodle on a school exercise book during World War I to the young reporter used first for propaganda, then for p olitical satire under the guise of adventure stories, into charac ter comedy and even on to the moon, well ahead of real-life astro nauts. And on the other he tells of a strongly moral man, the res earcher and perfectionist, who turned himself into a great artist through sheer effort and travelled the world, escaping from the boredom of a desk-job in Brussels. He examines accusations agains t Remi of collaboration during the last war, his wariness in rela tionships, and his loss of creativity., Books<
