Tintin Box Set: Soviet, Congo, America - 3 Albums

Completely different from the standard edition, the Tintin pages published in Le Petit Vingtième between January 1929 and October 1932 reveal a rounder, more spontaneous and supple graphic style, as well as a sense of composition influenced by Art Deco. In this first phase of Hergé, the elegant stylization that would bloom even more visibly from The Blue Lotus onward is already asserting itself. This colorization respects the lines and areas of solid black drawn and laid down by Hergé, but offers a brand-new color palette that surprisingly enhances the readability of the narrative and the clarity of the drawings, thus offering a new reading of these albums. This colorization campaign will cover the first nine albums serialized in Le Petit Vingtième, then in Le Soir-Jeunesse. Each volume opens with a preface that sheds light on the genesis of these stories and their publication context in light of previously unpublished documentary sources. Edition format: 23.4 x 31.2 cm Box dimensions: 5 x 24 x 32 cm
