[edit] Tintin Parodies
There have been many Tintin parodies. Some grotesque and others rather good. There are a variety of opinions on them. Some say they would never care to read them. Others say they can't wait to read them. It just depends what your tastes happen to be.
Tintin parodies are technically illegal. Moulinsart own the copyright and can slam you a good fine if they catch you. Eric Jenot's Tintin Parodies site was closed down by Moulinsart in 2004 for displaying Tintin parodies/pastiches/pirates.
[edit] "Reporter Pigiste" (Freelance Reporter)
This short 3-page (6 half-pages) story was made in autumn 1992 by Yves Rodier. A comic book fanzine (which I forget the name of) organized a contest and Rodier started by asking whether he was allowed to make a story with an already-existing character. The answer was no. So he drew this story telling of Tintin’s first "scoop", based rather vaguely on a scenario suggested in issue No. 1027 of the magazine “Spirou” from December 19th, 1957 (for another comic book contest!).
There’s no need to say that he didn’t win the contest. He was even disqualified because he’d used a character that didn’t belong to him! And then, he had to scramble hand over foot to recover his original boards, which, as by chance, had been found in the magazine CROC’s editor’s personal collection, a big Tintin fan ... Today, only some lucky collectors have this short adventure in their hands. The others who have this adventure have to download it on the Internet.
At the end of the story it announces Tintin in the Land of the Soviets ... Yves Rodier sticks quite closely to Hergé’s initial universe. The scenario is to some extent a prelude to Hergé’s first story.
The color version of this story gives it more depth! The original format of the story is that of the traditional A4 sheets. They are presented in the form of 3 or 4 images each strip. Two strips are presented per page. The format 21 cm x 29,7 cm was not necessary.
This parody has been translated by Chris Owens.
[edit] "Objectif Monde" (Destination World)
A big surprise was in store for Tintinologist readers of Le Monde on January 28, 1999. To celebrate Tintin’s 70th “anniversary” and the Comics Festival in Angoulême, the Parisian newspaper published a pastiche by David Savard entitled "Destination World". The big surprise was that the Hergé Foundation gave its authorization and allowed the publication of this first “official” pastiche, fully approved by Hergé’s beneficiaries. The short story, 26 pages long, tells the adventures of Le Monde’s young reporter Wzkxy, nicknamed Tintin because of his passion for the character, with multiple allusions to the adventures of Tintin. In short, Savard succeeded in creating a very nice tribute to Hergé as well as a new collectors’ item...
The story is particularly rich in historical references. The plot is enthralling and the end surprising.
Wzkxy, the hero, is so obsessed with the character of Tintin (and we can see that from the start) that he thinks that Snowy is really at his side!! This Tintin-clone inquires into the existence of a new story by Hergé whose roots are in Tintin in the Land of the Soviets. This story was much more than a comic book! It was the real purpose of a secret agent! Hergé himself was in the know and his stories were secret messages sent by the USA to the Soviet bloc! Many characters from the adventures of Tintin appear. Castafiore owns the newspaper “Le Monde”, the Thompsons keep their role as police officers, Calculus emerges from his shark-sub, etc... Even Rastapopoulos appears at the center of the plot.
This parody sometimes goes for over €30 at Internet auction sales! Some crafty people make a very productive trade on the Web with scanned versions... But one pirater took the care to remake a tidy edition which resembles the original "newsprint" version from Le Monde. The book has a hard-bound cover: with blue back, dark blue title pages, format 23 x 16 cm. This "luxury" recycling was made by an amateur in 12 copies (that’s what he says).
In 2003 on the site "Naufrageur.com" there was a color version of David Savard’s famous parody published in the world "Destination World". This color application with shading was made by 3 people in 4 weeks at the rate of several hours per page. Virtually at the same time the talented Icelandic Bjarki presented a splendid "solo" color version.
This story is a true success, congratulations to Savard for having conceived such a coherent adventure in only a few pages and for paying much homage to the characters from the books (practically not a frame escapes from this exercise). The story becomes a true tracking game.
This book was translated by Vlipvlop (pseudonym) in early 2006.
[edit] "Les Harpes de Greenmore" (The Harps of Greenmore)
The warning on the back cover specifies the author’s intentions. Once seen, the message is clear! Tintin, because he represents "adventure and imagination", is requisitioned here to promote a noble cause: "Ireland’s reunification". The author speaks about homage to Hergé. He is completely conscious of his graphic limits and he underlines his will not "to abuse" the appearance of Hergé’s characters.
The story starts with Calculus’s kidnapping (he was invited to a congress about intellectuals vs. terrorism). Of course everyone immediately suspects the IRA (Irish Republic Army)! But the plot becomes complicated and takes us through divided Ireland and we end up discovering that the perfidious Albion concocted the whole business to discredit the IRA.
Technically this 1986 comic book was made mainly with scissors/glue/photocopier. Many images were diverted with hardly any modifications (apart from the texts). The new images are numerous and are of a rather unequal quality. Graphically there are countless awkwardnesses, but that does not impede the reading quality much. The setting is rather well conceived but to zap through certain passages is not recommended (frequent and brutal ellipses) if you want to understand the plot fully.
This book has never been translated into the English language.
