Les aventures de Tintin

Hergé
Les aventures de Tintin: L’oreille cassée
Casterman, 1943 (colour edition)
(Originally published in black and white in Le Petit Vingtième between 1935 and 1937)

In the 1940s and 1950s, when Hergé’s popularity had increased, he and his team at Studios Hergé redrew and coloured many of the original black-and-white Tintin adventures using the ligne claire (“clear line”) drawing style he had developed so that they visually fitted in with the new Tintin stories being created. L’oreille cassée (The Broken Ear) was the first of these early Adventures to undergo the reformatting and colouration, and this second edition was published as a 62-page volume by Casterman in 1943. Unlike some of the earlier adventures, The Broken Ear was not redrawn, save for a few minor revisions.
