Tied to a torture pole, Tintin is pointed out with a threatening finger by the chief of the Toe-tied tribe, under the gaze of two other sitting Indians. Milou, hidden behind the pole, is no more reassured than his master. This scene is Tintin\u2019s well-known cover in America. Herg\u00e9 designed it in 1942, for the last edition of the black and white album. He chose to preserve it when the story was rebuilt in 62 colour plates in 1946. It is always this cover that dresses the third volume of the Adventures of Tintin<\/em> today.<\/p>

On last Friday 10th February, the original drawing was awarded at 1.7 million euros (2.16 with fees). We don\u2019t know anything about his buyer, except that he\u2019s a Belgian. 1.7 million euros is certainly an impressive amount ; it is however below the expectations of the company Artcurial, which estimated this ink of China between 2.2 and 3.2 million euros. It must be said that the auction house was still very excited by the record reached in January 2021 by the gouache project of the cover of\u00a0the Blue Lotus<\/em>\u00a02.6 million euros (3.2 fees included). The lower score of the cover of\u00a0Tintin in America<\/em>\u00a0latest version is not really a surprise. This one does not have the aura that emanates from the composition of Herg\u00e9 destined for the Chinese adventure of the reporter. Also, unlike Tintin and Milou in their potiche, the Indian scene is not enhanced by colors.<\/p>

The drawing of\u00a0Tintin in America<\/em>\u00a0had\u00a0\u00abnever been offered in the sales room\u00bb<\/em>\u00a0before, revealed expert \u00c9ric Leroy at\u00a0Le Figaro<\/em>\u00a0(February 6th, 2023 edition). It had belonged for more than twenty years to a Belgian collector who calls himself \u00abMr M.\u00bb.<\/p>

In the past, the comic book lover public had the chance to admire this jewel at least twice. In 2009, M. lent it for the exhibition\u00a0Vraoum !<\/em>\u00a0at La Maison rouge (Paris), one of whose curators was the late art critic Pierre Sterckx, a close friend of Herg\u00e9. Then, in January 2019, the Huberty & Breyne gallery (Brussels) exhibited about fifty originals from the collection of Mr M., including three covers of Herg\u00e9, including that ofAmerica<\/em>. Presented as a\u00a0\u00abvery enlightened amateur\u00bb<\/em>, the mysterious Belgian had made the decision to dispose of several of his treasures. A good part of his collection was then dispersed during a sale organized by the Coutau-B\u00e9garie house on May 25th of the same year. We learned on this occasion that Mr. M was nicknamed \u00abNanette\u00bb.<\/p>

Unless mistake, and unless he sold them privately, Mr. M is still in possession of the two other Herg\u00e9 blankets that he had exhibited in Brussels in 2019: that of the 5th<\/sup>\u00a0series of\u00a0The Exploits of Quick and Flupke<\/em>\u00a0(1952), and that of\u00a0La Vall\u00e9e des Cobras<\/em>\u00a0(an adventure by Jo, Zette and Jocko, 1956).<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
