It was around 1946, when Herge and Raymond Leblanc worked together to create Tintin magazine, and renamed the Tortor comic into it&#8217;s renowned name &#8220;The Adventures of Tintin&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lambiek.net\/artists\/image\/h\/herge\/herge_55_tibet.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for herge\" \/><figcaption>Tintin in Tibet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Herge faced many challenges and obstacles during his path as a illustrator and comic artist, Herge&#8217;s legacy has been left behind in many European comic artists, and his comic &#8220;The Adventures of Tintin&#8221; has changed the European comic medium forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Herge&#8217;s illustrations featuring simple yet likeable characters and designs really capture one of the many essences that are vital to comics today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Links:<br>https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/biography\/Herge<br>https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Herg%C3%A9<br>https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/12\/23\/books\/23book.html <br><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Herge, or Georges Prosper Remi was a Belgian cartoonist that was most famous for creating the classic comics &#8220;The Adventures of Tintin&#8221;, &#8220;Quick and Flupke&#8221;, and &#8220;The Adventures of Jo, Zette, and Jocko&#8221;.
