Timeline

1991

Has several cameos as a blonde-haired animated character in "The Adventures of Tintin" (1991).

1989

In 1989, an Anarchist graphic novel titled "Breaking Free" was published in Britain, featuring unauthorized appearances of Hergé's characters Tintin and Captain Archibald Haddock as the main protagonists. The political propaganda story is of Tintin and Haddock as Union laborers who join a revolutionary movement that, at the novel's end, is about to topple the British government (Hergé himself held very conservative political views and probably would have been horrified by this). Since the book was intentionally published without copyright, no legal action could be taken against the creators or publishers.

1982

In 1982, Belgian Society of Astronomy named a small planetoid, situated between Mars and Jupiter, after him.

1950

Within the next 50 years Tintin became one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century, due to its well-researched plots, appealing characters, humor, political thrillers, & real world settings.

1941

Because Herge voluntarily returned to Belgium during its Nazi-German occupation to continue his comics career in German controlled Belgian publications such as "Le Soir," the cartoonist would be plagued with accusations of being a Nazi collaborator for the rest of his career. Although Herge steadfastly denied such allegations, much of his work in this period would follow the mandated anti-Semitic tone of the time. This was most obvious with the story, "The Shooting Star," which ran from October 1941 to May 1942, where Tintin raced against American rivals in the employ of a villain, Mr. Bohlwinkel, who is an obvious stereotype of wealthy Jewish plutocrat. Herge would later revise the story to tone down both aspects.

1930

By 1930, Herge published the very first Tintin book: "Tintin in the Land of the Soviets". Tintin soon became Herge's "ligne claire" (French for clear line) legacy. The later adventures of Tintin involved other locations of the world from China all the way to America.

1929

January 10, 1929, Herge introduced a cartoon about a traveling Belgium reporter (Tintin) accompanied by his fox terrier (Snowy) traveling the Soviet Union.

1928

In 1928, he became in charge of the producing material for Le Petit Vingtieme (The Little Twentieth) a youth supplement newspaper. He began illustrating "The Adventures of Flup", "Nenesse", "Poussette", "Cochonnet", etc.

1907

Born under the name Georges Remi on May 22, 1907 in Brussels, Belgium. As a child, Herge had a gift for drawing but never had any formal training in the visual arts. He attended both school and the boy scouts during the World War 1 and post-World War 1 Era. After he finished school Herge published his first ever cartoon: "The Adventures of Totor" for Le Boy-Scout Belge (a scouting magazine).
