In this book Pierre Assouline reveals the life and art of Tintin's Belgian creator, Georges Prosper Remi, better known as 'Hergé'. Assouline has had privileged access to personal papers to explore Hergé's life and work and the fascinating ways in which the two intertwine.
A succinct, illuminating and doggedly researched investigation.
Thorough and sympathetic chronicle.
Meticulous detail...An intriguing biography.
This is a thorough, well-considered, level-headed biography.

Smoothly translated by Charles Ruas.
It is hard to imagine the job being done better.
