Written and drawn by Belgian artist Georges Remi under the pen name Herge, Tintin first sprang to life on the page in 1929 in the gung-ho adventure, Tintin In The Land Of The Soviets. The plucky reporter with the distinctive ginger quiff has travelled the world and even to the Moon, uncovering dastardly deeds with intrepid pooch Snowy by his side. Now, thanks to Oscar-winning filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, the iconic character enters the 21st century using state-of-the-art motion capture, which translates actors' movements into the performances of incredibly detailed digital characters.
