1983

Georges Prosper Remi    1907-1983

known by the pen name Hergé,

from the French pronunciation of his reversed initials RG,

was a Belgian cartoonist.

He is best known for creating The Adventures of Tintin,

the series of comic albums

which are considered one of the most popular European comics

of the 20th century.

He was also responsible for two other well-known series,

Quick & Flupke (1930–1940)

and The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko (1936–1957).

His works were executed

in his distinctive ligne claire drawing style.
