Hardcover. Condition: Good. Tintinology [tin-tin-ol-uh-jee] noun- The study of the works of comic creator Hergé and the cultural impact of Tintin, his best-known and most influential character.The adventures of Tintin and his dog, Snowy, have captivated people worldwide since they first appeared as an insert in the Belgian Catholic newspaper Le Vintime Sicle in 1929. Available for the first time in English, this insightful biography delves deep into the psyche of Tintin creator Georges Remi and his public persona Hergé.Author of the critically acclaimed Tintin and the World of Hergé and the last person to interview Remi, Benot Peeters tells the complete story behind Hergés origins and shows how and why the nom de plume grew into a larger-than-Remi personality as Tintins popularity exploded. Drawing on interviews and using recently uncovered primary sources for the first time, Peeters reveals Remi as a neurotic man who sought to escape the troubles of his past by allowing Hergés identity to subsume his own. As Tintin adventured, Hergé lived out a romanticized version of life for Remi.Millions have traveled alongside Tintin and Snowy through books, animated television series, theatrical performances, exhibitions, documentaries, and movies, including Steven Spielbergs fall 2011 The Adventures of Tintin. Now Tintinologists have the opportunity to better understand the complex and sometimes dark personality of Tintins creator and his carefully crafted public persona.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Barthélémy, Stanislas (illustrator). Illustrated. A GRAPHIC BIOGRAPHY OF TINTIN'S CREATOR by Jose-Louis Bocquet and Jean-Luc Fromental, Illustrated by Stanislas BarthélémyThe Adventures of Hergé is a biographical comic about the world-renowned comics artist Georges Prosper Remi, better known by his pen name, Hergé. Meticulously researched, with references to many of the Tintin albums and complete with a bibliography and mini-bios for each of the main "characters," the biography is appropriately drawn in Hergé's iconic clear line style as an homage to the Tintin adventures that have commanded the attention of readers across the world and of many generations.Seven-year-old Hergé first discovered his love of drawing in 1914 when his mother gave him some crayons to stay out of trouble. He continued drawing in school when he fatefully met the editor of XXe Sicle magazine, where Tintin first appeared. His popularity skyrocketed from the 1930s through post-World War Two. Hergé was perceived by some to have aided the Nazi government in Belgium by continuing to publish Tintin in a government-sanctioned magazine, and he was briefly imprisoned in the aftermath of the war and narrowly escaped execution. Also covered are his marriage troubles in the 1950s and subsequent affair with Fanny Vlamynck, who went on to become his lifelong partner; his late career in the 1960s, as his interest in Tintin waned and he occasionally "disappeared" for weeks at a time as he contemplated giving up his career to become a fine-arts painter; and a recounting of a humorous encounter with Andy Warhol.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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. Yet, despite Tintin's enduring popularity, Americans know almost nothing about his gifted creator, Georges Remi--better known as Herge. Timed to coincide with Steven Spielberg's long-awaited film The Adventures of Tin Tin: Secret of the Unicorn, here is the first full biography of Herge available for an English-speaking audience, offering a captivating portrait of a man who revolutionized the art of comics. Granted unprecedented access to thousands of the cartoonist's unpublished letters, Assouline gets behind the genial public mask to take full measure of Herge's life and art and the fascinating ways in which the two intertwine. Neither sugarcoating nor sensationalizing his subject, he weighs such controversial issues as Herge's support for Belgian imperialism in the Congo and his alleged collaboration with the Nazis. He also analyzes the underpinnings of Tintin--how the conception of the character as an asexual adventurer reflected Herge's love for the Boy Scouts as well as his Catholic mentor's anti-Soviet ideology--and relates the comic strip to Herge's own place within the Belgian middle class. For all his huge success--achieved with almost no formal training--Herge would say unassumingly of his art, "I was just happy drawing little guys, that's all." A profound influence on a generation of artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, the elusive figure of Herge comes to life in this illuminating biography--a deeply nuanced account that unveils the man and his career as never before. One of the most beloved characters in all of comics, Tintin won an enormous international following. Here is the first full biography of Herge available for an English-speaking audience, offering a captivating portrait of a man who revolutionized the art of comics. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: OKAZ. "Tintin, c'était moi, avec tout ce qu'il y a en moi de besoin d'héroïsme, de courage, de droiture, de malice et de débrouillardise. C'était moi, et je t'assure que je n'avais pas à me demander si cela plaisait ou non aux gosses. Et les sujets que je choisissais, c'étaient des sujets qui me tenaient à coeur, où je trouvais quelque chose à dire, où j'avais quelque chose à dire", écrivait un jour Hergé. Par-delà leur apparente simplicité, Les Aventures de Tintin, qui ont enchanté plusieurs générations de lecteurs dans le monde, constituent une autobiographie indirecte, une sorte de journal à travers lequel se donnent à lire tous les événements, publics ou privés, qui marquèrent Georges Remi, dit Hergé. Mais, dans ce singulier roman de formation, c'est surtout le personnage qui a construit son auteur. Le jeune employé du quotidien Le Vingtième Siècle était parti de bien peu de choses. Album après album, Tintin a fait l'éducation d'Hergé, le conduisant vers des horizons inimaginables. Cette aventure méritait, je crois, d'être racontée. - Nombre de page(s) : 522 - Poids : 654g - Genre : Autobiographies contemporaines Anthologies/Dico GRANDES BIOGRAPHIES.

Auszug: Tim und Struppi (im französischsprachigen Original Les aventures de Tintin) ist eine der bekanntesten und bedeutendsten europäischen Comicserien. Der Belgier Hergé (1907 1983) schrieb und zeichnete die humoristischen Abenteuercomics von 1929 bis zum Ende seines Lebens. Der Held der Geschichten ist der junge belgische Reporter Tim, der um die ganze Welt reist und in haarsträubende Abenteuergeschichten verwickelt wird. Die Comicfigur wurde am 10. Januar 1929 erstmals der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt. Insgesamt entstanden 24 Comic-Alben. Den geplanten 25. Band mit dem Titel Tim und die Alphakunst konnte Hergé bis zu seinem Tod nicht mehr fertig stellen. Die Serie inspirierte viele Künstler, darunter den Regisseur Steven Spielberg und den Maler Andy Warhol. Fachleute, die sich ausführlich mit diesem Thema beschäftigen, werden nach dem belgischen Originaltitel der Serie Tintinologen genannt. Die Geschichten sind hauptsächlich Abenteuergeschichten, manche haben Fantasy- und Science-Fiction-Elemente, andere sind politische Kommentare. Die frühen Episoden haben selbstironischen, phantasievollen Charakter, während der Witz der späteren Abenteuer leichter zugänglich ist und die Geschichten deutlich an Realismus gewinnen. Ab Mitte der 1930er zeigten sie die jeweilige Mode und Technik sehr detailgetreu. Alle Geschichten enthalten zahlreiche witzige Situationen und viele visuelle Gags, die an den Slapstick der Stummfilme aus den 1920er Jahren erinnern. Die Serie wird für ihre Zeichnungen geschätzt, die klar, durchkomponiert und in Bezug auf Objekte wie Fahrzeuge, Maschinen oder Gebäude sehr vorbildgetreu sind. Hergés zeichnerische Handschrift, die Ligne claire, mit ihren klar begrenzten, schattenlosen Figuren, war stilbildend und wurde oft kopiert. Bei der minimalistischen Gestaltung von Tims Gesichtszügen orientierte sich Hergé angeblich am noch älteren Vorbild der Bécassine. Auch zur jeweiligen Entstehungszeit geltende gesellschaftliche Werte und Normen flossen ein. Besonders in 34 pp. Deutsch.
