Herg: The Man Who Created Tintin,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
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, and Steven Spielberg is presently adapting the stories for the big screen. Yet, despite Tintin's enduring popularity, Americans know almost nothing about his gifted creator, Georges Remibetter known as Herg. Offering a captivating portrait of a man who revolutionized the art of comics, this is the first full biography of Herg available for an Englishspeaking audience.Born in Brussels in 1907, Herg began his career as a cub reporter, a profession he gave to his teenaged, worldtraveling hero. But whereas Tintin was 'fully formed, clearheaded, and positive,' Assouline notes, his inventor was 'complex, contradictory, inscrutable.' For all his huge successachieved with almost no formal trainingHerg would say unassumingly of his art, 'I was just happy drawing little guys, that's all.' Granted unprecedented access to thousands of the cartoonist's unpublished letters, Assouline gets behind the genial public mask to take full measure of Herg's life and art and the fascinating ways in which the two intertwine.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 meticulously probes 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 Tintinhow the conception of the character as an asexual adventurer reflected Herg's appreciation for the Boy Scouts organization as well as his Catholic mentor's antiSoviet ideologyand relates the comic strip to Herg's own place within the Belgian middle class.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 biographya deeply nuanced account that unveils the man and his career as never before.
