List of Tintin media explained

This is a list of books, films, and media associated with The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé.

Books

The books can either be listed in the order in which the stories first appeared in newspapers or magazines (the "production order"), or in the order they were first published in album form ("publication order"). As many early stories were altered in the redrawings, and therefore chronologically fit in more with the later albums, both orders can be considered valid. Sometimes the redrawings introduced problems with the chronological order, one example is when Sheik Patrash Pasha presents a copy of Destination Moon in Cigars of the Pharaoh—Destination Moon was published almost 20 years after Cigars of the Pharaoh.

Television

There have been two animated television series, based on the comic books.

Cinema

There have been a number of feature films featuring the characters, but not always based on original works by Hergé. There have been two live action films with actors cast for their resemblance to the characters.

In 1948, Hergé wrote to Walt Disney hoping to pitch his series into a potential animated feature in an effort to introduce Tintin to American audiences. The proposal fell through as Disney was busy working on Cinderella around that time, though Hergé did receive a Mickey Mouse trophy and a picture showing Tintin and Mickey shaking hands decades later.[1]
