€32.25
Tax included

A fully illustrated guide to the world-famous character Tintin, and his adventures. This well-researched and gorgeously presented overview follows Tintin through all 24 titles of the series. 205 pages. English.

Michael Farr (born 1953) is a British expert on the comic series The Adventures of Tintin and its creator, Hergé. He has written several books on the subject, including the best-selling Tintin, The Complete Companion, as well as translating many others into English. A former reporter, first for Reuters and then The Daily Telegraph, he travelled around the world as a foreign correspondent. After meeting Hergé, Farr started writing books about Tintin. Farr was the first to gain full access to the files and material Hergé had used in developing the Tintin stories.

Tintin is the classic example of groundbreaking graphic narrative that all others can be compared to. The Complete Companion contextualizes the work of Tintin's creator, Hergé, and places it in its historical context. Author Michael Farr shows Hergé's drawings side by side with their references, demonstrating how Hergé established believable backgrounds and realistic details. The Companion is richly-illustrated, including examples of the sketches that Hergé would re-work and polish until he found the clearest, most easily readable line – giving birth to a style that would later be called “Clear Line”. The Adventures of Tintin mix universal appeal, adventure and slapstick, drama and humour in a collection of stories that have stood the test of time. Michael Farr's book is the ultimate companion to Hergé's stories.
