Since last September 28th and this until January 15th, 2017, the Grand Palais celebrates the comic strip and more particularly Belgian author Georges Remi, called Hergé. The latter is behind the famous Adventures of Tintin. This major retrospective organised a few metro stations away from the Green Hotels Paris, the Eiffel Trocadéro and the Gavarni, presents the one who was considered as ‘the father of the European comic strip’. He was one of the first French-speaking cartoonists using the American style, that is to say the balloon system. Thanks to a partnership with The Hergé Museum—located in Belgium—the public is invited to discover the career of the artist—both a perfectionist and visionary person—who sold about 250 million comic books worldwide, translated in around a hundred languages. We discover his creations like Quick and Flupke (1930) or The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko (1935).
