Professor Tournesol

Professor Tournesol is the Danish-language edition of Professor Calculus (Professeur Tournesol), the hard-of-hearing, absent-minded inventor and scientist who joins Tintin's circle of companions in Hergé's classic adventure series.

A beloved fixture of the Tintins oplevelser series from Danish publisher Illustrationsforlaget, Professor Tournesol made his catalog debut in 1960 in the pages of a Silver Age run that brought these classic adventures to a Scandinavian readership. Across his ten appearances, he keeps wonderfully distinguished company — sharing the page with Tintin himself, the blustering Kaptajn Haddock, the bumbling Dupond og Dupont, and the fiery General Alcazar. For collectors with a passion for international editions and the rich European comics tradition, this is a character whose presence in the catalog speaks to the truly global reach of one of comics' most treasured storytelling legacies.
