ishot: The Adventures of Tintin

@ Singapore Philatelic Museum... from 5 November 2011 - May 2012.

The Adventures of Tintin is a series of comic albums created by Belgian artist Remi Georges (1907–1983), who wrote under the pen name of Hergé.

Tintin is the famous young reporter in the comic series created by Belgian Georges Remi, also known as Hergé (22 May 1907 - 3 March 1983). Tintin and his dog companion, Snowy, enjoyed exciting adventures that took them to various places in the world such as Tibet, Congo, America, Russia and even the moon!

View the full range of Tintin postage stamps issued by Belgium, France and the Netherlands from the museum's Universal Postal Union Collection. Rarely seen original stamp artworks, colour trials, and other philatelic materials from the Museum Voor Communicatie, the Netherlands, and Musée de La Poste in France are on display for the first time in Singapore.

An interesting read that I found online; Click here to read the mini-Tintin FAQ, because the Tintinverse can be a weird and unwelcoming place for newcomers.
