So I needed a captain, a boat captain, a captain that's.drunk, so I made lots of sketches, lots of sketches to try to find this character, how can I explain it to you? Well, simply speaking, he was born within these sketches, and at first he was just a drunk. (Silence) Journalist How did you come up with Captain Haddock? Hergé Captain Haddock yes, how did I invent him? Well, it took place in "The Crab with the Golden Claws", I don't remember what year precisely, it must have taken place in 1939-1940, maybe 1941. In 1980, Hergé is afflicted with leukaemia he dies in 1983 in Belgium. In 1946, Raymond Leblanc, a former resistant, proposes to create the Tintin journal, with the participation of many illustrators and in which the eponymous hero's adventures continue. Forbidden from publishing, Hergé dedicated himself to the revision of his former books. His ambiguous behaviour during the Occupation made him uneasy once Belgium was liberated. Hergé's career is often suspected of having ties with the Nazi regime: he publishes anti-Semitic drawings in the papers, admires Mussolini and certain details in Tintin are a bit troubling. Hergé also wrote Quick & Flupke (1930), about two rascals who constantly do silly things and Jo, Zette and Jocko (1935), the adventures of a brother and sister accompanied by their monkey.
Their adventures are translated into over fifty languages and sold more than 200 million copies worldwide. For fifty years, the reporter and his loyal dog travel the entire world. His fame came with The Adventures of Tintin and Milou, whose first episode appeared in 1929 in the Le Petit Vingtième newspaper.
Born in 1907, Georges Remi, known as Hergé, was a Belgian author of comic books.
