Les aventures de Jo, Zette et Jocko

Hergé, the creator of Tintin, turned his attention to a new trio for this five-issue series from Casterman, published between 1951 and 1957. Jo, Zette, and their monkey Jocko embark on globe-trotting adventures that echo the clean ligne claire style and suspenseful storytelling of their more famous predecessor. Though shorter-lived than Tintin's exploits, this series showcases Hergé's mastery of the adventure genre, offering a distinct and charmingly old-fashioned sibling dynamic. It remains a fascinating, lesser-known corner of the master cartoonist's body of work.
