The Adventures of Tintin

  The Adventures of Tintin has vivid style, easy lines, making people clear at a glance. The plot is tense, the climax happens frequently, full of constant laughter. The characters in the story are distinct：calm, clever and brave Tintin; Milou, a pet dog that always stands up whenever Tintin encounters a danger, captain Haddock with hot temper, all are created by author Herge. What surprises me even more is the author's fineness of the comic background, we see the Bauhaus-style chairs of the 1920s, the streamlined cars of the 1930s, the view of the Himalayas, the deep-sea environment of the Atlantic Ocean, and even a small shop sign in the streets of Peking in the Republic of China; the scene drawn by Herge must have a real life contrast. This sense of reality comes from the results of Herge 's tireless collection of information. Throughout his life, Herge has been building a diverse and rich database: cars were faithfully portrayed; the weapons were painted according to the propaganda materials of the arms manufacturers; the cameras were drawn compared to the advertisements of Lycra; the motorboats were derived from the materials collected at the sailing exhibition; the clothes were drawn from fashion magazines, etc. Herge stubbornly preserved things which he thought they would be used one day: a wide variety of materials from various sources, postcards with paintings, home manuals, and clippings in various fields.

  Due to time limit I can't read the complete book of the Adventures of Tintin, but I still marvel at the details of this comic, and I think this comic has more elements that can be explored in depth.
