Herge: The Man Who Created Tintin (Paperback) $25.61 One of the most beloved characters in all of comics, Tintin won an enormous international following. Translated into dozens of languages, Tintin`s adventures have sold millions of copies. Yet, despite Tintin`s enduring popularity, Americans know almost nothing about his gifted creator, Georges Remi--better known as Herg?. Timed to coincide with Steven Spielberg`s long-awaited film The Adventures of Tin Tin: Secret of the Unicorn, here is the first full biography of Herg? available for an English-speaking audience, offering a captivating portrait of a man who revolutionized the art of comics. Granted unprecedented access to thousands of the cartoonist`s unpublished letters, Assouline gets behind the genial public mask to take full measure of Herg?`s life and art and the fascinating ways in which the two intertwine. Neither sugarcoating nor sensationalizing his subject, he weighs such controversial issues as Herg?`s support for Belgian imperialism in the Congo and his alleged collaboration with the Nazis. He also analyzes the underpinnings of Tintin--how the conception of the character as an asexual adventurer reflected Herg?`s love for the Boy Scouts as well as his Catholic mentor`s anti-Soviet ideology--and relates the comic strip to Herg?`s own place within the Belgian middle class. For all his huge success--achieved with almost no formal training--Herg? would say unassumingly of his art, "I was just happy drawing little guys, that`s all." A profound influence on a generation of artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, the elusive figure of Herg? comes to life in this illuminating biography--a deeply nuanced account that unveils the man and his career as never before. "Highlights yet again that all-too-common divide between the flawed private man and the admirable creative genius.... Those fascinated by the strange lives of creative geniuses may want to read Assouline`s fine, if somewhat disillusioning, biography." |
