Non-Hergé Minor Items


So, this week's offering is a little different. All of them are not drawn by Hergé (except one deleted frame from Tintin in Tibet).

One interesting item is a short comic drawn by Bob de Moor, advertising for Eurosignal using the Tintin characters (done with Hergé's permission).

Then, we have one extra page added to Tintin in Tibet by Yves Rodier; this is not based on any page that Hergé actually drew, but is still interesting!

And then finally, Hergé drew sketches for a story called Tintin and the Thermozero. He sketched (I believe) about 6-7 pages total. It was left unfinished. Well, several fans (including Yves Rodier again) have drawn completed versions of some of those pages, making them look like actual Tintin pages. I have translated all of these into English. So enjoy!

Deleted Frames from Tintin in Tintin Magazine


The standard Tintin books published in color actually have many frames (or even whole pages!) that are completely missing! When the Tintin stories were originally published, they were printed in newspapers or magazines, and because of page constraints and creating weekly cliff-hangers, Hergé created way more material than ended up in the published books.

This week I'm giving you deleted/missing frames from Tintin stories published in Tintin Magazine. After World War II was over, at first Hergé was imprisoned and not allowed to published any work at all. Then a friend created a new magazine centered around Tintin and invited Hergé to be a part (also helping to remove the blacklisting stigma from Hergé). These missing frames were all translated into English by myself. Specifically, you'll find frames from Prisoners of the Sun (with some from the conclusion of The Seven Crystal Balls), the 2nd (and completed) version of Land of Black Gold, Destination Moon, Explorers on the Moon, The Calculus Affair, The Red Sea Sharks, and The Castafiore Emerald.

Deleted Frames from Tintin in Le Soir


The standard Tintin books published in color actually have many frames (or even whole pages!) that are completely missing! When the Tintin stories were originally published, they were printed in newspapers or magazines, and because of page constraints and creating weekly cliff-hangers, Hergé created way more material than ended up in the published books.

This week I'm giving you deleted/missing frames from Tintin stories published in Le Soir. After the Nazis took over Belgium, Le Petit Vingtième closed down. Hergé found new work at Le Soir newspaper, and begin publishing new Tintin stories. These missing frames were all translated into English by myself. Specifically, you'll find frames from The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Shooting Star, The Secret of the Unicorn, Red Rackham's Treasure, and the original unfinished version of The Seven Crystal Balls.

This week I'm giving you deleted/missing frames from Tintin stories published in Le Petit Vingtième (the original home of Tintin). These were all translated into English by myself.

If you are a fan of audio drama, I also created an audio drama based on Tintin in America. You can listen to it here: http://audioadventuretheatre.blogspot.com/search/label/Tintin
