Tintin is beloved around the world--and inspired Steven Spielberg to make a Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-nominated film. Herg and the Treasures of Tintin tells the story of how Georges R mi became Herg , how his private life and interests influenced his work, how Tintin came to be, and what sparked Herg 's other delightful characters. In addition to 20 beautifully reproduced removable facsimile documents--including sketchbook extracts, illustrated letters, personal drawings, and posters--special information boxes discuss many of the people who appear in the Tintin stories.
