Schulze

Schulze is the German-language name for one of the two nearly identical, bowler-hatted detectives from Hergé's Tintin series — bumbling but well-meaning investigators who frequently cross paths with Tintin during his globe-spanning adventures.

A fixture of the beloved German-language editions of the classic Tintin universe, Schulze has been keeping distinguished company since their 1967 Silver Age debut — sharing pages with Tim, Kapitän Haddock, Professor Bienlein, and Struppi across Carlsen Comics' long-running catalog. Appearing in titles like Hergé Werkausgabe and Tim und Struppi, this character is part of the rich tradition of European comics brought to German-speaking readers over more than three decades. With Hergé's creative fingerprints on the debut, even a figure with a modest seven catalog appearances carries the weight of one of comics' most treasured legacies — a small but genuine piece of a grand adventure.
