23 more stories were added to Tin Tin's epic series, which began with an adventure in the Soviet Union.

Herz is a journalist by profession. So Herz Tin Tin makes himself a newspaper reporter as well. Originally created only for the two characters Tin Tin and Snowy. He has been created as a character who is talented, relentless, and can not be easily defeated by anyone. You will not get to see his unique character traits. At least the writer does not reveal anything about his age or his character traits, it does not matter to the reader. We understand that it had no effect on the popularity of Tin Tin.


Almost all of these stories were created in association with historical events. Herz is working to add more characters to the comic series that began with Tin Tin and Snowy.

As the series progresses, the first to join it is Captain Haddock, a troubled but always mischievous but kind character. It's through the ninth episode of The Crab with Golden Claws.


At the time, two policemen, Thompson and Thompson, were created to make ridiculous decisions that would always make the Belgian police service look ridiculous. Although they look the same, they are not brothers. Often the two can be distinguished by the differences in their mustache. It is their custom to resort to foolish actions to thwart Tin Tin's adventures.


Then there is Professor Calculus. The character is created as a deaf but talented designer. In addition to these main characters, there are many supporting characters.

Creator - Remy or Herz (bdtresor.net)


Tin Tin is created by Herz, a leading Belgian comedy writer, and illustrator. In paintings he drew from 1924, he signed R.G. R.G is pronounced as Herz in French. His real name was Georges Remy, which is why he became known as Herz.


Born in Brussels in 1907, he turned to painting in 1921. That was when he was in the Scout Army. He once claimed that Ting Ting's detective work was due to his scout military life. He died on March 3, 1983, surrendering to the world of the immortal cartoon character Tin Tin. At the time of his death, he was painting a new story that included another Tin Tin adventure. But he will not be able to finish it.

The Herge Museum, opened in Belgium in 2009, is one of Tin Tin's major museums. Here you will find about 80 of Herz's handwritten drawings and 800 photographs. The Herz Museum also has a souvenir shop dedicated to the Tin Tin character. There are souvenir shops for Ting Ting fans around the world, most notably Brussels, Belgium, and London, England.
