Origin[]

Tintin was a young boy from Paris who traveled around the world in a small biplane. He was brave, resourceful and patriotic. He had adventures in the jungles of Africa, in China, and in many of the French colonies. He also had some subterranean adventures. In later adventures, he crossed the solar system in the Bolide, an atomic-hydrogen-gas-powered spaceship.

His colleagues included his younger sister named Yvonne, a brave and young girl named Louise, the old, wise, and technologically savvy Professor Saint-Marc, a reporter named Timmy Ropp, and a young man named Jean de Requirec.
