Hergé
Created Tintin, which has sold over two hundred million copies, and spent decades apologising for the racism of the earliest volumes and the wartime paper he drew for.
Georges Prosper Remi, known by the pen name Hergé, from the French pronunciation of his reversed initials RG, was a Belgian comic strip artist. He is best known for creating The Adventures of Tintin, the series of comic albums that are considered one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century. He was also responsible for two other well-known series, Quick & Flupke (1930 to 1940) and The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko (1936 to 1957). His works were executed in his distinctive ligne claire drawing style.
