The Adventures of Tintin (Les Aventures de Tintin) is a series of comic strips created by Belgian artist Herge the pen name of Georges Remi (1907 1983). The series first appeared in French in Le Petit Vingtieme, a children's supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le Vingtieme Siecle on 10 January 1929. Set in a painstakingly researched world closely mirroring our own, Herge's Tintin series continues to be a favorite of readers and critics alike 80 years later.
The hero of the series is Tintin, a young Belgian reporter. He is aided in his adventures from the beginning by his faithful fox terrier dog Snowy (Milou in French). Later, popular additions to the cast included the brash, cynical and grumpy Captain Haddock, the bright but hearing-impaired Professor Calculus (Professeur Tournesol) and other colorful supporting characters such as the incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson (Dupond et Dupont). Herge himself features in several of the comics as a background character; as do his assistants in some instances.
The success of the series saw the serialized strips collected into a series of albums (24 in all), spun into a successful magazine and adapted for film and theatre. The series is one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century, with translations published in over 50 languages and more than 200 million copies of the books sold to date.
The comic strip series has long been admired for its clean, expressive drawings in Herge's signature ligne claire style. Engaging, well-researched plots straddle a variety of genres: swashbuckling adventures with elements of fantasy, mysteries, political thrillers, and science fiction. The stories within the Tintin series always feature slapstick humor, accompanied in later albums by sophisticated satire, and political and cultural commentary.

Né le 22 mai 1907 à Etterbeek, Georges Remi signe dans sa jeunesse de nombreuses illustrations pour des revues scoutes sous le nom d'Hergé. C'est le 10 janvier 1929 qu'il donne naissance au reporter Tintin dans les pages du Petit Vingtième, supplément pour la jeunesse d'un quotidien belge catholique. Son héros devient très vite le personnage le plus emblématique de la bande dessinée francophone. Curieux de tout ce qui fait son siècle, Hergé en a collecté les images et les signes mythique et historiques. Par son art du dessin et sa science de la narration, il a donné à la bande dessinée européenne ses lettres de noblesse. Il est mort le 3 mars 1983 à Woluwe-Saint-Lambert. © Hergé-Moulinsart
Tintin file en Ecosse où un gorille hante un manoir isolé sur une île rocheuse. En voulant aider un avion en difficulté, Tintin se fait tirer dessus. C'est le début d'une des plus palpitantes aventures du célèbre reporter. Poursuivant ses assaillants, nous le retrouvons sur une île rocheuse écossaise, réputée comme étant le repère d'une «bête» mystérieuse, mais abritant en fait une bande de faux-monnayeurs. Après diverses péripéties, Tintin mettra bien évidemment fin à ces activités illicites et révélera au grand jour la véritable nature de la bête.
