The Adventures of Tintin (Les Aventures de Tintin), (Bande dessinée) drawn and written by the Belgian writer-artist Georges Remi a.k.a. Hergé, is one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century. According to BBC magazine, over 200 million copies of the comic books have been sold to date, with translations into over 58 languages.
The hero of the series is a young reporter and traveller named Tintin, aided by his faithful dog Snowy, originally named "Milou" in French which does not mean Snowy in English, Captain Haddock and a variety of colourful supporting characters.
The comic book series has long been admired for its clean yet expressive drawings executed in Hergé's signature ligne claire style, their engaging plots and the painstaking research done while creating the later stories. They straddle a variety of genres: swashbuckling adventures with elements of fantasy; mysteries; political thrillers; and science fiction. All the titles in the Tintin series include plenty of slapstick humour, offset in later albums by dashes of sophisticated satire and political/cultural commentary.
Tintin lives in Brussels, the capital city of Belgium and the birthplace of Hergé. This is evidenced most notably in Tintin in the Land of the Soviets where the text states that Tintin arrives in Brussels as he returns home after his adventure, and in Tintin in Tibet, where the letter sent to Tintin by his friend Chang is addressed to Brussels. There are other more subtle hints in some of the other books, such as recognisable locations, car numberplates, etc. However, after Red Rackham's Treasure, Tintin moves into Marlinspike Hall, whose geographical location is debatable. It is to be noted though that Marlinspike's original name is Moulinsart, the -sart ending being typical of the Walloon Brabant region - we are still probably in Belgium.
A perennial question concerning Tintin is his age: it is far from clear whether he is a teenage rookie reporter, or a senior journalist in his thirties. While his manner of dress suggests the former, the high-profile stories he covers (not to mention his apparently bottomless expense account) strongly imply the latter. The matter has never been resolved.

He is Belgian. The Flemish call hem Kuifje. Not that i'm trying to confuse you but it's them Walloons that call him TinTin.

Tin-Tin was neither French or Belgian...he was indeed Spanish, his family were smuggled through the Basque country, up through France, past Beigium and eventually settled in a small hamlet called 'Iurtem' in nothern Turkey. Before fame enveloped him, with the release of the Tin-Tin books, he had worked as a belly dancer, a dish washer, and for a while.... as a rent boy.

Belgian of course. He's a reporter for Le Petit Vingtième, a famous (sic) Brussels based newspaper.
