Reviews for Tintin: The Art of Hergé

"“This 500-page, illustrated coffee-table book was designed to be a museum on paper, and perusing it is akin to visiting the Musée Hergé in Louvain-la-Neuve southeast of Brussels.” -- France-Amérique “Tintin: The Art of Hergé is a remarkable sampling of published and unpublished pieces culled from the museum's extensive collection… This beautiful gallery on paper celebrates the life and works of the popular Belgian cartoonist Hergé.” -- Shelf Awareness for Readers ""this beautiful tribute to one of the giants of 20th-century sequential art will enthrall Tintin fans and readers interested in the graphic medium."" -- Library Journal online"
