HERGÉ/JACOBS – Du duo au duel

Hergé–Jacobs | From Duo to Duel recounts for the first time the fascinating story of the relationship between two giants of comics: Hergé, creator of Tintin, and Edgar P. Jacobs, father of Blake and Mortimer.

In this richly illustrated book, Éric Verhoest explores a creative friendship born in the 1940s, built on complicity, mutual influences, and a fruitful artistic rivalry.

From Hergé’s fluid, clear line style to Jacobs’s dramatic theatricality, the book shows how their distinct worlds mutually enriched each other and profoundly shaped the aesthetics of modern comics, through numerous rare and previously unpublished documents.
