Herge (Paperback)
The Genius of Tintin, a Biography
Raphael Taylor
A comprehensive and enjoyable new biography of the man who created Tintin. Georges Remi, better known as Herge, is widely regarded as the greatest twentieth-century master of the European bande dessinee. His Tintin books have sold well over 200 million copies worldwide. Drawing from private archives, exclusive interviews and thousands of hours of research, RaphaA”l Taylor both tells the story of the man’s life – which spanned the greater part of the twentieth century – and searches for the inspiration behind his work. Taylor explores Herge the man, covering his youth, his controversial life in Nazi-occupied Brussels during the Second World War, his depressive crises, the break-up of his first marriage and the manner in which his later life became a ‘practice of philosophy’. And for each Tintin story Taylor provides succinct descriptions of the secrets of Herge’s workshop, with a special focus on Tintin in TibetA” – Herge’s most personal Tintin story. Fo

Hergé
Belgian cartoonist (1907–1983)
Georges Prosper Remi (French:[ʒɔʁʒpʁɔspɛʁʁəmi]; 22 May 1907 – 3 March 1983), known by the pen name Hergé (air-ZHAY,[2]French:[ɛʁʒe]ⓘ), from the French pronunciation of his reversed initials RG, was a Belgian comic strip artist. He is best known for creating The Adventures of Tintin, the series of comic albums which are considered one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century. He was also responsible for two other well-known series, Quick & Flupke (1930–1940) and The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko (1936–1957). His works were executed in his distinctive ligne claire drawing style.
Born to a lower-middle-class family in Etterbeek, Brussels, Hergé began his career by contributing illustrations to Scouting magazines, developing his first comic series, The Adventures of Totor, for Le Boy-Scout Belge in 1926. Working for the conservative Catholic newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle, he created The Adventures of Tintin in 1929 on the advice of its editor Norbert Wallez. Revol
