INTRODUCTION
There is no place on earth where high quality Comics are so abundant like in tiny, little Belgium. Ever since the beginning of the 20th Century they were published in all sizes and formats. And here Comics were officially lifted up to the status of a genuine Art: the Ninth Art!
Among all the Authors and Drawers
one is truly standing out: Georges Remy from
R.G. created a young hero: a sulphur-crested reporter he baptized Kuifje
(Kuif-je = little crest).
A perfectionist as he used to be R.G. only drew 24 albums since 1929, all of an
outstanding quality: good script, fine drawings and extremely well documented.
Some of the albums took 4 to 5 years to finish!
He also did the French language versions himself where Kuifje was called Tintin.
So whenever an album was released a Flemish (Dutch) and a French version
appeared simultaneously by his hand, each for the two language populations of Belgium.
Later his albums were translated into 50 languages or even more...
Steven
Spielberg and R.G.
In 1981 Spielberg’s Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark was
released and R.G. became a big fan of this kind of Adventures. R.G. contacted
Spielberg and wished he would do a Tintin movie. Spielberg was under the
impression of R.G.’s Comic Art and they decide to meet in 1983. Unfortunately,
when Spielberg was on the plane from
2011:
the Movie!
30 years later now. Together with
Peter Jackson (N.Z.) Spielberg made The
Secret of the Unicorn by
“Motion Capture Performance”. The movie is based on three successive albums
of R.G.
Here are the three original prints of De
Avonturen van Kuifje Series (from Bert Jamin’s Kuifje albums collection):

De
Krab met de Gulden Scharen (The Crab with
the Golden Claws)

Het Geheim van de Eenhoorn (The Secret
of the Unicorn)

De Schat van Scharlaken Rackham (The
Treasure of Red Rackham)
And
now...
the Game!
Together with the release of the
film a matching Game was released by Ubisoft.
