Le Pastiche Tintin 2, a second flick through
Tintin pastiches and parodies and the world of Hergé.
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 Hergé 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!
