Le Pastiche Tintin 2

Le Pastiche Tintin 2, a second flick through Tintin pastiches and parodies and the world of Herg . New Zealand art historian John Stringer gathers another 222 tributes to this global comic phenomenon (333 in vol.s 1-2). Parodies, tributes and lampoons have mushroomed like Shooting Star fungi since 1983 when Herg died and the adventures ceased. Stringer draws again on hundreds of independent works to revisit the enduring pastiche pathology of Europe's greatest comic (200 million copies in 70 languages). From Star Wars to Fukushima, spellbound with Harry Potter, in Syria, El Salvador, on Pluto or at a zoo, spaced out on Mars, Tintin is still Breaking Free so the adventures and mystery might continue -Billions of Bilious Blue Blistering Barnacles
