damn, I'm a fan of Hergé now.

I watched Tintin the movie when I was a kid but this comic series is truly a masterpiece. I'm glad that I picked The Blue Lotus as my first to-read book among them, truly worth it! Hergé seems to be a master in turning socio-economic problems into an entertaining adventure in Tintin.

With many excellent sceneries depicted in large frames, I was amazed by his distinct 'ligne claire' style, which can often be seen a lot in graphic design and illustration work these days.
