Fifty years after independence, the wild Congo of Tintin is that of dad, of the good white man, of colonial providence and of wild animal hunting. Hergé considered this missionary album as a sin of youth with sometimes cruel images. But the mirror of stereotypes hides a page of history, drawn with this deep sense of self-mockery common to the Belgian and Congolese peoples. 67 pages.
Between the boxes, he sends us back the image of Messire Leopard, this king of the Belgians with a dangerous voracity. Beyond the apparent fantasy of a shoddy Congo, Hergé fraternizes with Africa. Tintin in Papa's Congo goes back to the sources of this bestseller, which has sold ten million copies since 1931, through rare images from the Studios Hergé and the Documentation Center of the newspaper Le Soir.
