This article analyses the portrayal of illness and disease in two well-known Tintin books that were published in the late 1940s. It underlines how work from Herge in this period continued to be marked with an imperialist mindset. In particular, it is important to appreciate that publications such as Les 7 Boules de cristal and Le Temple du soleil lend implicit support to common European myths of reverse, or 'retro', colonial invasion. Similarly, Herge's post-1945 attitudes towards colonialism are tarnished with other more complex kinds of quasi-racist assumption. In short, the aim of this article is to measure the ambiguity of Herge's discourse in a more thorough fashion than has often been the case in recent scholarly or media debates about this popular hero. |
