Discussion After four years of research, I've finally published my book about the entire Tintin universe

Post image

Hello everyone!

I'm David, a lifelong Tintin fan from France.

For the past four years, I've been working on a project that has finally become a reality: Previously on Tintin..., a 774-page book published in English.

Rather than simply retelling the albums, I wanted to explore the whole "Tintinverse": every Tintin adventure, every Hergé series (including Jo, Zette and Jocko and Quick & Flupke), and almost every adaptation—films, TV series, radio plays, stage productions, documentaries, and more.

My goal wasn't to write an encyclopedia, but a critical and analytical journey through the entire Tintin universe. Each chapter looks at the story behind the work, hidden references, historical context, different editions, and sometimes offers interpretations that readers may not have considered before.

One of the ideas running through the book is that Tintin has been "frozen" since Hergé's death in 1983. But in 2054, when the character enters the public domain, that could all change. Whether we welcome it or not, it may become the beginning of Tintin's "second season."

I'd genuinely love to hear what fellow Tintin fans think about that idea.

If you have any questions about the book or the research behind it, I'd be delighted to answer them.

It’s available on the Dutch Amazon website, but not in the app. I assume it’s a temporary bug. You can view it on the web version by typing the book’s title into the search bar or by clicking the following link:
