The Tintin comic series,elling the global adventures of the Belgian boy reporter,are world-renowned,but the reputation of its creator Georges Remi(better known by his pen-name“Herge”)has been taking a battering.In 2007,the centenary of Herge's birth,the UK Commission for Racial Equality recommended that Tintin in the Congo(1931)be withdrawn from sale due to its“hideous racial prejudice,”as it portrayed the Congolese as kindly but ignorant children in need of the white man's governance.
