An adolescent with no known family, Tintin is a reporter by trade - he's not looking for adventures, they come to him! Courageous, he never hesitates to fight the forces of evil, protecting the weak, minorities, and the oppressed. Ingenious and reasonable, full of modesty and practical sense, he is the antithesis of the super-hero. Printed in forty-six languages, Tintin's compelling storylines and delightful art give the comic strip a universal appeal.
