Hergé: The Man Who Created Tintin
View through CrossRef
This chapter assesses how Pierre Assouline's biography shows that Tintin's creator was an emotionally retarded workaholic who cared for nothing but his art, disliked children, and collaborated with the Nazis. Georges Remi (his pen name Hergé was his reversed initials, RG, as pronounced in French) was born in 1907 in a Brussels suburb. On leaving school, Remi got a job on an ultra-Catholic paper that advocated authoritarian government as a bulwark against democracy. Serialised in Father Norbert Wallez's paper, The Adventures of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets gave a cautionary account of the famine, terror, and repression rife under the atheist Bolsheviks. He was a perfectionist in his art, and seemingly did not stop to think that, by luring young readers to Wallez's paper with Tintin stories, he was also exposing them to editorials that justified Hitler's persecution of the Jews.
