Commissioned by the conservative Belgian newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle for its children's supplement Le Petit Vingtième, it was serialised weekly from August 1938 to August 1939. Hergé intended the story as a satirical criticism of the expansionist policies of Nazi Germany, in particular the annexation of Austria in March 1938 (the Anschluss). The story tells of young Belgian reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy, who travel to the fictional Balkan nation of Syldavia, where they combat a plot to overthrow the monarchy of King Muskar XII.

This mini bonus episode is a collaboration with the podcast Anthology of Heroes, which explores the lives of the national heroes of each nation. I’m a big fan of the podcast, and considering my older brother hosts it, I thought it would be very fun to see the national hero of Hergé’s fictional nation Syldavia get the same treatment.

Exclusive look at my brother’s WEIRD Tintin comic 28.12.2020

Very exciting news, Tintinheads! I recently uncovered some pages of a fanmade Tintin comic my younger brother made when he was about ten years old.Will was a keen amateur comics artist when he was younger and I’ve previously reviewed his extensive Doctor Who comics on my Youtube Channel, but this is the only-known surviving entry from his Tintin series.The story, which appears to be set in Australia, features many of the characters we’ve come to love, as well as the reappearance of one of the secret agents from Tintin in the Land of the Soviets. What exactly is he doing in Australia? I can’t tell you, as I can barely-understand what’s happening panel-to-panel.I’ve arranged the pages as best I could, but I can only assume there are some previous pages missing as, Tintin appears to start off stranded on a boat, but I can’t confirm. When I asked Will for some context, he shrugged and responded, “Mate, who knows?”
