The first Tintin adventure was created in 1929, yet this new colour version is surprisingly
fresh and modern to read. Full of energy and enthusiasm, Tintin acquires his distinctive
physical appearance as he jumps into a convertible car.
To suggest speed Hergé drew the reporter's hair sticking up;
the tuft remained forever after.
The 21-year-old author had never trained as an artist.
Little did he know that the character he had just created would become a legend
all over the world.
