Tintin is the classic example of groundbreaking graphic narrative that all others can be compared to. Written and drawn between 1929 and 1976, the 22 adventures of Tintin, his dog Snowy and an unforgettable cast of characters has become a defining standard of graphic literature mixing universal appeal, adventure and slapstick, drama and humor in a collection of stories that have stood the test of time and whose art style has been adopted by new generations of European cartoonists. In this portrayal of the Belgian Congo, the young Herge reflects the colonial attitudes of the time; he himself admitted that he depicted his Africans according to the bourgeois, paternalistic stereotypes of the period. This is the original black-and-white facsimile edition.
