The Adventures of Tintin by Hergé
I personally fell in love with the Tin Tin series in this
section of the class and I loved it because they were simply just very fun.
I’ve always known about Tin Tin thanks to my uncle but I never really delved
into it I never quite got around to reading it. I always knew it was a very
important comic to the illustration community but I never understood why? And
now I can honestly say “I understand” to my uncle. The many adventures of Tin
Tin take you around the world solving mysteries and looking for adventure and
it’s great I was always smiling when reading. I read a lot of contemporary
graphic novels so I’m well versed in the world of comics but this truly felt
like the literal evolution between strip and comic. It has that expressiveness,
simplicity and slapstick found in your typical strip but it has the engrossing
narrative of a “comic.” On top of that, Herge constantly throws in political
satire and a bit of history to make the story just a bit more interesting. It’s
just great I got my hands on Tin Tin: The Blue Lotus because I heard that issue
was an important issue and let me tell you for me it was visual eye candy. I
love the pacing of the stories it made me feel like a kid again. Tin Tin truly
stands the test of time and is now a huge point of reference for my future
works.
