“The Adventures of Hergé”

About this Collection

This collected edition from Drawn & Quarterly presents the biographical graphic novel 'The Adventures of Hergé,' originally serialized in 2011. It chronicles the life of the legendary Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi, better known as Hergé, the creator of Tintin. The work explores his artistic journey, personal struggles, and the historical context that shaped his iconic series.

"The Adventures of Hergé" offers a concise, deeply personal portrait of Georges Remi’s life as he navigates the rise of his iconic Tintin series, the challenges of wartime Belgium, and the complexities of his relationships—both artistic and personal—through the lens of his own experiences. Written by Jean-Luc Fromental, Helge Dascher, and José-Louis Bocquet, and illustrated with striking clarity by Stanislas Barthélémy, the story captures the quiet intensity of a man shaped by history and creativity. The cover, also by Barthélémy, mirrors the interior’s thoughtful tone, framing a life lived in ink and conscience.
