Tintin The Complete Companion starts where Tintin and the World of Herge stooped.

An absolutely fantastic book that illuminates Herge's process of creating some of the most iconic adventure stories of all time. I didn't really realize how old Tintin was and how many of his early adventures mirror the problems villainy of the world immediately pre-WW2. Ongoing jokes, characters and threads crease through Tintin's journies and Herge's research is intense. The book clearly addresses the controversy of Tintin (culturally insensitive depictions of certain races) and displays howThis is a great companion piece to the Tintin stories. Each Tintin book is covered, with archival photos and commentary providing rich background info on what went into the making of the stories.My only nitpick is that the author occasionally injects his personal preferences regarding the books. For instance, he considers "Flight 714" to be weak due to its extraterrestrial themes, whereas in the Tibet adventure he has no problem with the presence of the Yeti (he mentioned something about his dad
Have it in English and in my native language because it's not lying about being a 'complete' piece. Very detailed, captions for the pictures providing more information beyond what's explained in the body texts. The only weakness I can point out is that the way he explains it is not chronological so the dates can jump back and forth, however that's only by technicality since Mr. Farr explains it by the plot of Herge's plot line. Certainly something I love to re-read and content analyze!
The concept behind this officially-sanctioned book is mouth-watering. Hergé Foundation/Moulinsart gave Michael Farr free reign of Hergé's archives, allowing him to show the reference images and sketches that sat behind the final Tintin artwork. A real behind-the-scenes experience for fans!Unfortunately, the actual book fails to live up to this possibility.A large part of the problem is the formatting of the book......which divi-des the book into three col-umns per page, with text of-ten broken
Tintin: The Complete Companion has, pleasingly, the same cover dimensions as a Tintin book, though it's a little thicker than the standard 62 pages. Although I could have done with less subjectivity from the author (irrelevant anecdotes; personal opinions on adventures that I happen to like thank you very much), he knows his stuff and it was fascinating to find out about all the Brussels-dialect jokes in the original, and the changes that took place in the pictures and text from one edition to
This is obviously a top read for Tintin enthusiasts! No one who likes Tintin is going to tell you otherwise! Michael Farr provides a detailed account of how each Tintin book came into being, and each chapter is dedicated to a particular title. Readers will love the numerous photos from Herge's extensive archive, which served as the real-life inspiration for many of his drawings. Ever wanted to know what the Thompson Twins might've looked like in real life? ... Well look no further! The only real
Fantastic book for Tintin-enthusiasts. Beautiful illustrations and a nice analysis of all Tintin-books, with interesting trivia about the development of each story and a fantastic biography of Hergé and his struggles with his famous character. It also paints a clear portrait of what it was like to be an author during World War II and the impact those world events had on Hergé and everyone around him. To enjoy it you'll have to be familiar with the Tintin-books and stories, but if you are you
