New Zealand art historian John Stringer examines the phenomenon of the mass Tintin pastiches and parodies since 1983 when Hergé died and the adventures ceased with the incomplete Tintin and Alph-Art. Honouring the canon and legacy of Hergé, Stringer draws on hundreds of independent works in different languages to comment on the enduring pastiche phenomenon of Europe’s greatest comic (200 million copies, 70 languages).
