Next week sees the publication of Herge: The Man Who Created Tintin. This promises to be one of the most detailed examination’s of Georges Remi life available in English. TintinMovie.org will be running exclusive extracts from the book all week.
On Monday we examine the innocence of Herge’s early life and the many inspirations behind Tintin. Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s extracts focus on Herge’s relationship with the Nazis and the accusations of collaboration. The very personal story of Georges and Fanny, his second wife, is explored on Thursday and on Friday the story of the how plans for the first Spielberg / Tintin film fell apart.
The book promises to be an in-depth study of Herge. Author Pierre Assouline has had privileged access to personal papers and studies how the creator’s work and life intertwined. He does not shy away from such controversial matters as Hergé’s support for Belgian imperialism in the Congo or his relationship with the Nazis during the occupation of Belgium.
My review copy has yet to arrive but the extracts are fascinating and I cannot wait to read the book. We will be running a competition in a couple of weeks time where you can win you’re own copy. More details soon.
Herge: The Man Who Created Tintin is available on Amazon.co.uk and on Amazon.com. UK publication is on Thursday 29th October and the US release is a couple of weeks later.

Another good post from Wade. I recommend you subscribe to his blog
I'm a lot like him. I hated hills. Why ride them? Because they are there and I don't want to ride Norton Summit faster than Jack, I just don't want them to get in the way of a nice ride in the hills.
The first time I went up I made it half way. I said to my wife; "it's nuts, it's hard, but do you know what? I'm going to beat that f*&king thing!
I ride them most times I go out now....
Come one and all to the 1st Adelaide Cyclists meet-up. All members and non members, kids and friends join us for our first get together since the community began in February.I've decided to combine meeting everyone with checking out the Adelaide Bicycle Polo Club regular match. I'm sure it'll be fun to watch and they would appreciate the audience - we might even get a go!
Bring something to drink and eat and any ideas to share about building this site and promoting cycling in Adelaide.
Comments on the wall welcome. Hope to see you there.
Cheers
Angus
I've not been shy about my admiration for Maurice Sendak and excitement about the film version of 'Where the Wild Things Are.' The film Australian made film directed by Spike Jonze has just been released in the US to praise and broken records - which I am relieved about.
During the week I heard a great interview on NPR's All Things Considered with screen writers Dave Eggers about the writing process and his research, and meeting, the 81 year old Maurice Sendak. Eggers says thay Sendak had been approached many times over cinematic and TV versions of his books and he'd turned them all down. It was only Jonze, as a result of a long friendship with him, that convinced him he would do the book justice. Sendak was involved all the way through story creation and character development.
This is my last word on WtWTA... promise.. I'll move on to Tintin.
