Tintin is 80

Belgium’s international icon of investigative journalism is 80 Years old. These books were early influences on me both for Hergé‘s amazing use of flat color and his eye for capturing the detail in exotic environments. His depictions of various ethnicities appear painfully naive by today’s standards, but Hergé definitely made an effort to play down the stereotypes towards the end of his career. I encourage anyone uninitiated to take a look before Tintin goes all Hollywood.
