Timed to coincide with Steven Spielberg's long-awaited film The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, here is the first full biography of Негде available for an English-speaking audience, offering a captivating portrait of a man who revolutionized the art of comics. Granted unprecedented access to thousands of the cartoonist's unpublished letters, Assouline gets behind the genial public mask to take full measure of Herges life and art- and the fascinating ways in which the two intertwine. Neither sugarcoating nor sensationalizing his subject, he weighs such controversial issues as Herges support for Belgian imperialism in the Congo and his alleged collaboration with the Nazis. He also analyzes the underpinnings of Tintin- how the conception of the character as an asexual adventurer reflected Herges love for the Boy Scouts as well as his Catholic mentor's anti-Soviet ideology-and relates the comic strip to Herges own place within the Belgian middle class. For all his huge success, achieved with almost no formal training, Негде would say unassumingly of his art, "I was just happy drawing little guys, that's all." A profound influence on a generation of artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, the elusive figure of Негде comes to life in this deeply nuanced account that unveils the man and his career as never before.
