POSTCARD FR COVER #03 - Tintin en Amérique Colorized Version

Postcard featuring the original French album cover of "Tintin en Amérique" (Tintin in America) in a colorized edition. This striking artwork showcases Tintin's daring adventures as he navigates the Wild West and bustling cities of 1930s America.

This cover of "Tintin en Amérique" is a colorized edition of the original 1932 black-and-white album. When Hergé first published the story, it was part of his early work, created in black-and-white for serialized newspaper publications. The story was later revised and colorized in 1945 to align with Hergé's stylistic evolution and to fit the growing format of The Adventures of Tintin as fully illustrated color albums.

This particular cover is unique because it focuses on a dramatic scene of Tintin climbing onto a moving train—a moment of action not typically depicted in the widely known 1945 version, which features Tintin in a Western landscape with Native American teepees. This design highlights a different aspect of Tintin's journey, emphasizing his adventurous and daring spirit. Collectors will notice this alternate artwork is part of "Éditions Moulinsart's" efforts to bring previously unseen or rare cover designs to fans, celebrating the artistic legacy of Hergé in all its variations.

Perfect for framing or as a collectible, this postcard celebrates Hergé's vivid storytelling and iconic artistry.

Fun Fact: "Tintin en Amérique" was one of Hergé's earliest works to explore a foreign cultural and geographical setting. Its transformation from black-and-white to color reflects the evolution of both Tintin and Hergé's creative vision.
