The husband and wife team that translated Herge's adventures into English managed to keep alive or recreate the magic very well and I have been happily reading those adventures for forty years.The last ones written were only translated in the last 20.I always visit the Tintin shop in Brugge when I'm there.<BR/>Mr B, I agree with your comments re 'graphic novels'. The Americans are not afraid, as we know, to put anything into a cartoon strip and Dickens translates to that format just as well as Bradbury. Its a shame we don't follow their example because it would be a great way to introduce literature to kids from an early age.I would have appreciated it, if only as a change from my constant diet of 'Commando' cartoons..."Have this pineapple for your breakfast Jerry..." etc :-)Boll Weavilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03858122220880954456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-26950530483801806462008-06-03T05:34:00.000+01:002008-06-03T05:34:00.000+01:00Here in Belgium there is a massive comic book cult...Here in Belgium there is a massive comic book culture (mostly hard back editions) with a terrific variety of comics from your typical hero adventure stuff, to comic stuff like Asterix to more mature second-degree comics. Nobody flinches at all at the sight of a grown man (or woman) reading a comic book on the bus or train. There are some amazing collections... and collectors. Remember Tintin? He still has a great cult following and is considered as something of a national hero. Who was the first man on the moon, for example?... Well, Tintin of course!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
