Kuifje - Kuifje en ik - 1 Album - Limited and numbered edition - 2026/2026

Very small paperback edition. This is number 05 of just 25 copies.

Tintin! 40 million copies sold worldwide... a bestseller in Reykjavik and Rio, in Stockholm and Sydney. Who is behind this phenomenal success? A little-known, even mysterious man: Hergé. Who is he?

You’ll find out by reading this book. In a series of informal conversations, Tintin’s creator talks about his childhood, his student years, his budding vocation and his early career. He shares his worldview and his idea of happiness. He tells us about his travels.

It is a fascinating book and, at the same time, a treasure trove of information for comic-book lovers. The book is illustrated with unpublished or little-known drawings and photographs.

Numa Sadoul (1947), who collected Hergé’s words, is a writer and theatre-maker, holds a master’s degree in literary studies from the University of Nice, and has two favourite hobbies: opera and comics.
