Did you read the comic books/graphic novels The Adventures of Tintin as a youngster? I know I spent many hours pouring over the fantastic world I found contained within them, made by Herge!

The first one is due out this December and is directed by Stephen Spielberg, with music by John Williams! The second one is to be directed by Peter Jackson.

I’m excited! (I’ll clarify that further: I’m eager to see the films and curious about the state of the motion-capture art.) The US poster, shown below, holds promise. Viva HERGE! Viva Tintin!
