Tintin was the determined and resilient hero of a comic book series
that took him on thrilling adventures around the world â and on some
voyages not quite of this world. Actually, though Tintin is not as well
known in the U.S. as in Europe, his distinctive tuft of ginger hair and
Hergé's no less distinctive drawing style will ring a bell with many
Americans. Appearing from 1929 to 1982, the series took Tintin to the
planet's most exotic places to confront all sorts of danger, treachery
and political machinations, with an emphasis on the fast-paced visuals
of trains, planes, cars, bombs and other new technologies. (Source: Tintin and I)
