Ampton Reads Tintin: Contextualising Tintin for the modern reader

by Ampton, Melissandra Mcdonald (Illustrator)

Overview

The Tintin comics, created by Belgian artist Hergé, have entertained generations of children since their debut in the 1930s. As Hergé's skills increased and as the political landscape changed and shifted, the Tintin books were imbued with an additional layer of meaning that will slide into obscurity in the modern day.
Ampton Reads Tintin is a series of essays taking the reader through each Tintin book, reviewing the history, context, and development of the series through the years. Ideal for Tintin fans old and new, this books explores beyond the stories themselves to read deeper into the world in which they were created.
