Le trio hergéen : un tournant dans « Les aventures de Tintin »

Cheron Sophie, Le trio hergeen : un tournant dans « Les aventures de Tintin » (The Hergean trio: A turning point in The Adventures of Tintin),Studia Romanica Posnaniensia, Adam Mickiewicz University Press, Poznan, vol. XXXIX/1: 2012, pp. 89-98, ISBN 978-83-232-2410-5, ISSN 0137-2475, eISSN 2084-4158. Before Captain Haddocks' and Professor Calculus' appearance in The Crab with the Golden Claws (eighth album, 1941) and Red Rackham's Treasure (eleventh album, 1944) Tintin doesn't have strong links with the other characters. His youth, dynamism and resourcefulness are his only characteristics - he has no past, no name, no family, no occupational ties. The two new friends Herge gives him provide the last ten albums of The Adventures more consistency, humor, and a proper space which were missing until then.
