Hergé

Georges Prosper Remi (1907-1983), known as Hergé, was a Belgian cartoonist born in Etterbeek, Brussels. He created The Adventures of Tintin in 1929 for Le Petit Vingtième, the children's supplement of the Brussels newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle, and the series became one of the most popular European comics of the twentieth century.

He also created Quick & Flupke and The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko. He continued Tintin in Le Soir during the German occupation, co-founded Tintin magazine in 1946, and established Studios Hergé in 1950. His pen name is the French pronunciation of his reversed initials, R.G.
