A publication by Moulinsart Publishing in collaboration with the Belgian Comic Strip Centre and De Post on the occasion of the release of a series of twenty-five stamps on a single sheet to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of Hergé's birth. 3,000 numbered copies. Dominique Maricq was recruited as an archivist at the Hergé Studios in 1997. Comic strips had fascinated him from an early age and he has now become a passionate specialist in the work of the master of the Clear Line.
On 22 May 2007, Hergé would have turned 100. As part of the centenary celebrations for the creator of the adventures of Tintin and Snowy, “Hergé in 25 stamps” highlights the history of the creation of his oeuvre. The author reviews and analyses the 24 Tintin albums, which together form a milestone in the history of the Ninth Art. Each episode is explained in detail, based on the characters, the themes and the graphic evolution. The book is richly illustrated with beautiful drawings and plates from the different periods of the series. Admirers of Hergé will undoubtedly appreciate this pleasant stroll through his oeuvre.
Philatelists – and Tintin collectors – will not want to miss this book either, as it contains a sheet with the 24 stamps featuring the covers of the 24 albums, each in a different language, and a central stamp with the image of the artist. The work is also published in the attractive form of a comic book.
