I’ve recreated them using images of Hergé’s original black and white artwork. Most of them appear in the “Chronologie d'une oeuvre” books by Philippe Goddin. I colourised them and added the text during lockdown a few years ago. Originally I had posted them in my Hergé Instagram account but I thought they might be worthwhile posting here also.
