List of Tintin media

Add article description


This is a list of books, films, and media associated with The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé.

Books

The books can either be listed in the order in which the stories first appeared in newspapers or magazines (the "production order"), or in the order they were first published in album form ("publication order"). As many early stories were altered in the redrawings, and therefore chronologically fit in more with the later albums, both orders can be considered valid. Sometimes the redrawings introduced problems with the chronological order, one example is when Sheik Patrash Pasha presents a copy of Destination Moon in Cigars of the PharaohDestination Moon was published almost 20 years after Cigars of the Pharaoh.

Television

There have been two animated television series, based on the comic books.

Cinema

There have been a number of feature films featuring the characters, but not always based on original works by Hergé. There have been two live action films with actors cast for their resemblance to the characters.

In 1948, Hergé wrote to Walt Disney hoping to pitch his series into a potential animated feature in an effort to introduce Tintin to American audiences. The proposal fell through as Disney was busy working on Cinderella around that time, though Hergé did receive a Mickey Mouse trophy and a picture showing Tintin and Mickey shaking hands decades later.[1]

Other books

  • In 1983, Benoit Peeters published Le monde d'Hergé (later translated in English as Tintin and the World of Hergé), which chronicles the illustrated history of Belgian writer-artist Georges Remi (better known as Hergé), and his creation Tintin.
  • In 1993, after the death of Hergé, his friend Frederic Tuten published Tintin in the New World: A Romance (ISBN 0-7493-9610-5). More a thought experiment than a new adventure, Tintin here grows up: he is seduced and falls in love, has a dream about the death of Snowy and caring for an invalid Haddock, and critically examines his life and experiences.
  • In 1988, a pirate comic/parody, The Adventures of Tintin: Breaking Free, was released, featuring Tintin as an unemployed youngster living with his uncle-by-marriage Haddock, who gets involved with the socialist/anarchists.
  • In December 1999, a pirate comic book Tintin in Thailand came into circulation. The book, illustrated by Thai artists, presented Tintin, Haddock and Calculus on a sex holiday to Bangkok, with numerous allusions to the characters being unhappy with their treatment by the Hergé Foundation. In 2001, Belgian police made several arrests regarding the book in the Belgian town of Tournai.
  • The Adventures of Tintin at Sea by Michael Farr (2004) ISBN 0-7195-6119-1 - a guide to the nautical-related scenes in canonical Tintin books
  • Tintin: The Complete Companion by Michael Farr (2001) ISBN 9780719555220 - A descriptive guide on Hergé's influences and inspirations.
