Don’t forget Yoko Tsuno, Achille Talon (they were my dads I didn’t understand them), Agent 212, les 4 as, Blake and Mortimer, le chat, and so many more. Most of these are ligne claire style and I think that’s herge’s influence.
- ambicapter 3y agoYoko Tsuno and Blake&Mortimer were amazing sci-fi for a kid like me. Definitely big imagination-boosters.
- bigmattystyles 3y agoDefinitely, as a little kid Yoko Tsuno was much more understandable. But even though Blake and Mortimer was tougher, the art itself is amazing.
- tralarpa 3y ago> tougher So much text, more like an illustrated book :) Btw, did you know that Jacobs helped Hergé redrawing the backgrounds of some of the Tintin comics after the war? And Leloup (Yoko Tsuno) also worked for Hergé before starting his own series. There is an interview with him on youtube.
- shakow 3y ago> So much text, more like an illustrated book :) Speaking of walls of text, remember the explanation of the inner workings of an atomic reactor in Destination Moon? That's how 5 y.o. me discovered nuclear physics :]
- tralarpa 3y agoJust checked, you are right. Not only the explanations of the reactor, but from the moment they arrive at the secret research facilities, the dialogs become unusually long. I don't remember well that one, probably skipped the pages as a kid :)
- bigmattystyles 3y agoI did not! Thanks for the pointer, I’ll check it out!
- derelicta 3y agoOmg I cant believe people still remember Yoko Tsuno and are still fond of the whole serie
- AugieDB 3y agoAnd the series is still going -- the latest book in the series just came out last year. Cinebook is publishing English translations of the series, too.
- murphyslaw 3y agoYes!! Yoko Tsuno is my all time favourite, plus De Minimensjes (Les Petits Hommes)
