SOME TINTIN GRAPHIC NOVLES
THE TINTIN FAMILY
TINTIN
Tintin is a fictional character in The Adventures of Tintin, the series of 
classic Belgian comic books written and illustrated by Hergé. Tintin is 
the protagonist of the series, a reporter and adventurer who travels 
around the world with his dog Snowy. In the comic book series, Tintin 
is a young reporter who is drawn to dangerous international intrigues 
in which his quick thinking, bravery and chronic good luck save the 
day. Almost every adventure features Tintin sent off to investigate an 
assignment, but rarely does he actually turn in a story without first 
getting caught up in an adventure. In The Secret of the Unicorn, the 
reader can unmistakably recognise the streets of Brussels at the 
beginning of the story. 
SNOWY
Snowy is  a  fictional  character  in The Adventures of Tintin, 
the  series  of  classic Belgian comic  books written  and 
illustrated by Hergé. He is a white Wire Fox Terrier and Tin 
tin's  four-legged companion who travels everywhere with 
him.  The  bond  between  Snowy  and  Tintin  is  very  deep  as 
they have saved each other from perilous situations many 
times. The character of Snowy evolved through the course 
of the Tintin series, and was most dramatically affected by 
the  introduction  of Captain  Haddock in The Crab with the
Golden Claws. Before Haddock's appearance, Snowy was the 
source of dry and cynical side-commentary, which balanced 
out Tintin's constantly positive, optimistic perspective.
CAPTAIN HADDOCK
Haddock is a deuteragonist of the series. He was initially 
depicted as a weak and alcoholic character, but in later 
albums he became a more respectable and genuinely 
heroic socialite, although he continues to drink rum, 
and whisky—his most noble act being in the pivotal 
Tintin in Tibet, in which he stoically volunteers to 
sacrifice his life to save Tintin. Although when 
introduced Haddock has command of a freighter, in 
later volumes he is clearly retired. The Captain's coarse 
humanity and sarcasm act as a counterpoint to Tintin's 
often implausible heroism; he is always quick with a dry 
comment whenever the boy reporter gets too idealistic.
THOMPSON & THOMPSON
• Thomson and Thompson (original French: Dupont et Dupond) are fictional
characters in The Adventures of Tintin, the series of classic Belgian comic books
written and illustrated by Hergé. Thomson and Thompson are detectives of
Scotland Yard, and are as incompetent as they are necessary comic relief. While
the two are apparently not related as they have different surnames, they are twice
referred to as twins or brothers in the original language version of the series.[1]
In
any case, the two detectives look like identical twins and can only be told apart by
the shape of their moustaches (Thomson's moustache flares out a tiny bit on each
side at the bottom).
• They are afflicted with spoonerism, are extremely clumsy, incompetent, and
usually bent on arresting the wrong character. In spite of this, they somehow get
entrusted with delicate missions, such as ensuring security for the Syldavian space
project or investigating arms dealing.
• The detective with the flared moustache is Thomson (without a "p"), who often
describes himself as "Thomson, without a 'p,' as in Venezuela!" and who often
remarks, "To be precise...". The detective with the flat moustache has described
himself as "Thompson with a 'P,' as in..." and then used words with either a silent
"P," or in which the "P" is combined with another letter, losing the "P" sound, such
as Philadelphia, psychology and so on.
