Georges Prosper Remi\u00a0(1907\u00a0\u2013 1983), also known by the pen name\u00a0Herg\u00e9, is a Belgium cartoonist. He is best known for famous comic series, The\u00a0Adventure\u00a0of\u00a0Tintin\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/font>and some of his other series include Quick & Flupke and\u00a0The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herg\u00e9 began his career when he developed his first comic series, The Adventures of Totor for Scouting magazines\u00a0in 1926. He later created The Adventures of Tintin<\/em>\u00a0in 1929 for the conservative Catholic newspaper Le Vingti\u00e8me Si\u00e8cle.<\/em> With a story surrounding boy reporter and adventurer Tintin and his dog Snowy, the series’ early comics (Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, Tintin in the Congo and Tintin in America) were intended as as anti-socialist propaganda for children. <\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun Fact: Many of Herg\u00e9’s initial comics were printed in black and white when they first published in magazines. After the great success of The Adventure of Tintin, <\/em>he got a chance to tweak his works and re-published them in colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something I find interesting is Herg\u00e9’s storytelling technique by using illustrations and story panels. It’s quite noticeable that the panels are consistent throughout the pages. There is also a great use of static and continuous framing technique that helps creating an observational narrative. Compared to other comic books (ex. Marvels or DC comics) that employ constant shifting angles, Herg\u00e9 tried not to bombard readers with too much new information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in terms of the linework of The Adventure of Tintin’s<\/em> illustrations, they are very clean and suitable for comic (easy to read and print). In some occasions, Herg\u00e9 also created dramatic effects with solid black for shadows (example below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
