Reviews

This 500-page, illustrated coffee-table book was designed to be a museum on paper, and perusing it is akin to visiting the Muse Herg in Louvain-la-Neuve southeast of Brussels. * France-Amrique Magazine *
"...a remarkable sampling of published and unpublished pieces culled from the museum's extensive collection This beautiful gallery on paper celebrates the life and works of the popular Belgian cartoonist Herg. * Shelf Awareness *
Hergs brilliant draftsmanship makes perusing this a pleasure...this beautiful tribute to one of the giants of 20th-century sequential art will... enthrall Tintin fans and readers interested in the graphic medium. * Library Journal *
