'Tintin and the World of Herge' is the most authoritative account yet written of Herge, the supreme master of the cartoon format, and of Tintin, his greatest creation.
Exploring the artist's early life and the influences on his work, the book focuses on Herge's development of Tintin and his friends, from their first appearance in the Belgian magazine "Le Petit Vingtieme" in 1929 to the final incomplete adventure of 'Tintin and Alpha-Art'.
