Yes, 'Tintin and the Picaros' is already well advanced; I work on it every day; but I cannot yet determine a date for the publication of this new story.

The Tintin series have been an immense popular and worldwide success since 1929, the year of their first publication. They have been translated into more than 50 languages ​​and more than 200 million copies have been sold to successive generations of fascinated children and adults. Old albums, original drawings and rare letters by Hergé are also highly admired and sought after by collectors around the world, regularly reaching records at international auctions.

The document draws attention to the logo, the typed text and the large signature of Hergé (1907 - 1983). Above all, it is very interesting for showing the closeness that Hergé insisted on maintaining - with a personalized text - with professionals and his readers, impatient before each new publication of Tintin.
