Comic book legend Hergé talks about his daily work on the new album "Tintin et les picaros".
Typed and signed letter from Hergé to Philippe Rouberol, probably a bookstore owner in Paris.
One page, with the Studio Hergé logo.
In French.
21 cm x 27.1 cm.
Brussels, 11 December 1974.
Good condition conservation, two light yellow stains that do not harm the text.
Unique piece.
Yes, 'Tintin and the Rogues' is already well advanced; I work on it every day; but I cannot yet set a date for the publication of this new story.
The Tintin series have been a huge worldwide success since 1929, the year they were first published. They have been translated into more than 50 languages and over 200 million copies have been sold to successive generations of fascinated children and adults. Hergé's old albums, original drawings and rare letters are also much admired and sought after by collectors around the world, regularly fetching records at international auctions.
The document is notable for its logo, typed text and large signature by Hergé (1907 - 1983). It is particularly interesting because it shows the closeness that Hergé insisted on maintaining - with a personalized text - with professionals and his readers, who were impatient for each new Tintin publication.
