The Adventures of Tintin is widely regarded as a classic of comic art, but some issues are rightly criticized for racial stereotyping and a romanticized view of colonialism. This is hardly surprising, however, as the series dates back to the 1930s.
There are also several animated television series. The best known is a French-Canadian co-production with 39 half-hour episodes.
Yes! Grew up watching this show. So so good.
There was a show?!
edit: Actually read the post. TIL there was a show. Nice.
You want to really hit the Americans here. Roll back the copy right to a reasonable period. Are all Disney cartoons copyright free.
There are lots of amazing comics from europe.

Thanks for sharing this. Subscribed. 👍🏻
While I’m a fan of Tintin (and Asterix, Valerian, and others), I don’t think “Hey, this century old European comic is good!” is sending the message that OP thinks it is.
Yes, that’s true. Especially in the French-speaking parts of Europe with Hergé, André Franquin, Albert Uderzo, Moebius, Peyo, Edgar P. Jacobs, Pierre Christin, Jean-Claude Mézières and many others.
I might post a few more to this community sometime.
I also love Benoît Sokal’s Inspector Canardo comics.
ha, I came here to shout them out, nice!
I have heard in the internet this comic is full of racist things. How much truth is there in it?
It is a product of its time and occasionally filled with pretty racist themes. It’s also very good.
Not that racist at all
The animated series is amazing! Good for all ages, as far as i’m concerned.
I agree! It’s one of my all time greats. Also it aged so well.
Fun fact, I’ve got the dog tattooed on me
Edit: I especially meant the style aged well I do know about the first comics being very racist
Back in my days I use to record them on VHS and watch them again when there was nothing interesting on TV (that is, 90% of the time). I finished knowing by heart any single lines if dialogs. Yeah, I was that weirdo creep at school.
Except for “Les cigares du pharaon”, where I didn’t record the good channel 😟. I passed my whole childhood with that hole in the story.
i don’t care what anyone says, i loved the 2011 movie. 💗
I never played them, but I’ve seen a few YouTubers play the games. They look pretty fun as well.
My local library has probably close to the full run of these so I read most all of them growing up and while they are a product of their time I have such good memories of them.
Same here
You used the wrong accent, it’s Hergé.
France and Belgium have a huge comics culture, with often cross border collaborations. An illustration of this is the prestigious Angoulême comics festival https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angoulême_International_Comics_Festival.
For those who like SF and heard about the legendary Dune movie adaption by Jodorowsky and designed by Giraud (aka Mœbius) that never happened, but fed the next following generation of SF classics (Blade Runner, Alien, The Fifth Element), I recommend the Incal by the same two guys, based on material and concepts from the movie.
“é” corrected - thanks.
Regarding Dune: The documentary “Jodorowsky’s Dune” about the production of this probably most influential movie that was never made is well worth watching.
And yes; There are a lot of great comic artists especially from France and Belgium. When it comes to sci-fi I also like Valérian and Laureline among many.
Pretty sure every American brand is considering their position. That includes mighty disney.
