Geo sur les traces de Tintin 2000

A delightful tribute to one of the most iconic adventurers in literary history, this 2000 original poster celebrates the GEO magazine Hors-série issue titled “Sur les traces de Tintin” (“In the Footsteps of Tintin”). With vibrant colors and unmistakable ligne claire illustration, the poster features a dynamic image of Tintin dashing forward—coat flaring, faithful Snowy (Milou) at his side—symbolizing the unrelenting curiosity and action-packed travels that define his legacy.

The tagline, “Tintin, grand voyageur du siècle” (“Tintin, great traveler of the century”), positions the beloved reporter not just as a fictional character but as a cultural ambassador who explored the world through the pen of his creator, Hergé. In this commemorative issue, GEO pays homage to Tintin’s global journeys—from the mountains of Tibet to the sands of the Sahara, to the jungles of South America—retracing the real-world inspirations behind his legendary adventures.

At the bottom, the poster includes a charming facsimile of a rarely seen, unpublished panoramic drawing by Hergé, created as a detachable fold-out feature for the magazine. This bonus addition enhances the collector’s appeal of the piece, offering fans a glimpse into the lesser-known works of the celebrated Belgian cartoonist.

This poster is more than a magazine promotion—it’s a colorful snapshot of early 21st-century nostalgia, where journalism, comics, and pop culture intersect. A must-have for Tintin enthusiasts, Hergé collectors, and fans of classic European illustration alike.
