This is a list of books, films, and media associated with The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé.
Books
The books can either be listed in the order in which the stories first appeared in newspapers or magazines (the "production order"), or in the order they were first published in album form ("publication order"). As many early stories were altered in the redrawings, and therefore chronologically fit in more with the later albums, both orders can be considered valid. Sometimes the redrawings introduced problems with the chronological order, one example is when Sheik Patrash Pasha presents a copy of Destination Moon in Cigars of the Pharaoh—Destination Moon was published almost 20 years after Cigars of the Pharaoh.
There have been a number of feature films featuring the characters, but not always based on original works by Hergé. There have been two live action films with actors cast for their resemblance to the characters.
In 1948, Hergé wrote to Walt Disney hoping to pitch his series into a potential animated feature in an effort to introduce Tintin to American audiences. The proposal fell through as Disney was busy working on Cinderella around that time, though Hergé did receive a Mickey Mouse trophy and a picture showing Tintin and Mickey shaking hands decades later.[1]
Mr. Boullock's Disappearance (1941–1942) — also co-written by Hergé and Van Melkebeke, the play has Tintin, Snowy, and Thomson and Thompson track the mysterious Mr. Boullock around the world and back to Brussels again. Performed at the Théâtre Royal des Galeries in Brussels.[6]
Tintin and the Black Island (1980–81) — based on The Black Island; adapted by Geoffrey Case and directed by Tony Wredden; at the Arts Theatre, London, by the Unicorn Theatre Company; later toured.
Hergé's Adventures of Tintin (also known as Tintin the Show) (2005–2006) — musical version of Tintin in Tibet, at the Barbican Arts Centre, produced by the Young Vic theatre company in London. The production was directed by Rufus Norris and adapted by Norris and David Greig.[8] The show was successfully revived at the Playhouse Theatre in the West End of London before touring (2006–2007)[9] to celebrate the centenary of Hergé's birth in 2007.[10]
In 1951 British weekly comic The Eagle ran "King Ottokar's Sceptre"
In the 1960s and 1970s, various Tintin comics were reprinted in the American children's magazine Children's Digest.
In 2000–2001, the short-lived magazine "Explore!" ran "The Black Island" and "King Ottokar's Sceptre"
In 1982-90, the Indian fortnightly magazine "Anandamela" also ran 'The Adventures of Tintin' as 'Dyushahasi Tintin (দুঃসাহসী টিনটিন)'. They ran the 'Tintin in the Land of the Soviets' to 'Tintin and the Picaros'.
In 1993, after the death of Hergé, his friend Frederic Tuten published Tintin in the New World: A Romance (ISBN0-7493-9610-5). More a thought experiment than a new adventure, Tintin here grows up: he is seduced and falls in love, has a dream about the death of Snowy and caring for an invalid Haddock, and critically examines his life and experiences.
In December 1999, a pirate comic book Tintin in Thailand came into circulation. The book, illustrated by Thai artists, presented Tintin, Haddock and Calculus on a sex holiday to Bangkok, with numerous allusions to the characters being unhappy with their treatment by the Hergé Foundation. In 2001, Belgian police made several arrests regarding the book in the Belgian town of Tournai.
