January 10th

On this day - 10th January 1929 - Tintins first appearance

The adventures of Tintin (Les Aventures de Tintin) was first published in the Belgian newspaper youth section Le Petit Vingtième. This paper was a supplement to the Le Vingtième Siècle where Tintins drawer, Georges Remi, worked as an illustrator. The comic was created by Remi under the name Hergè, which he is better known as today. The comic is about the reporter and adventurer Tintin and his fox terrier, Snowy. Other important characters includes Professor Calculus, Captain Haddock, Thompson and Bianca. Hergè died in 1983, but his legacy is still going strong. He is recognized as one of the leading cartoonists of the 20th century. Tintin has been translated to over 70 languages and adopted to radio, theater and movies. The last movie about Tintin, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn premiered in 2011 and was directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Peter Jacson. A second movie about Tintin has been discussed, but not decided on yet.
