Light foxing on book block. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind every great adventure lies a story waiting to be told — and The Making of Tintin: In the World of the Inca pulls back the curtain on two of Hergé's most beloved and atmospheric masterworks: The Seven Crystal Balls and Prisoners of the Sun. Written by acclaimed comics scholar Benoît Peeters and translated into English by Leslie Lonsdale-Cooper, this behind-the-scenes companion chronicles the creative genesis of these twin adventures, tracing how Hergé's meticulous research, personal anxieties, and post-war cultural fascinations shaped the vivid world of Incan mystery and intrigue. A full-colour section showcases original artwork and illustrations, offering readers an intimate look at the visual evolution of Tintin's South American odyssey.\n\nPeeters brings the analytical precision of a literary historian and the passion of a lifelong devotee to his subject, presenting Hergé not merely as a cartoonist but as a profoundly deliberate storyteller whose work reflects the broader currents of 20th-century European thought and popular culture. This volume stands as an essential document for students of sequential art, graphic literature, and the enduring legacy of one of the world's most iconic fictional characters — leaving the reader to wonder just how much of Tintin's world was, in fact, Hergé's own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49276133933275,"sku":"2026100009143-SECONDHAND","price":250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ee47d841-777b-4d8e-9581-26e711e86307.png?v=1789092718","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009143-secondhand-the-making-of-tintin-in-the-world-of-the-inca","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
