background

Beginnings

The success of Hergé's comic series Tintin (French. Tintin ) suggested the idea to give the series with a magazine its own publishing platform. The initiator was the publicist and resistance fighter Raymond Leblanc , who started such a magazine together with Hergé. The first edition of Tintin appeared on September 26, 1946 with a print run of 40,000 copies. From the beginning there was a Dutch version for the Flemish part of Belgium under the title Kuifje (edition of # 1: 20,000 copies). The booklet initially consisted of 12 pages, 5 of which were comic strips (with issue 13 of December 19, 1946, the scope was expanded to 16 pages).

Tintin was published weekly, with two pages each Tintin , other comics and selected reports. In 1946 another 13 issues appeared. At the beginning of 1947 the numbering was changed in such a way that counting started again with number 1 with each new year, so that the numbers 15 and 16 published in 1947, which continued the counting of the first 14 issues of the previous year, were numbered 3/1947 followed.

On October 28, 1948, a French edition was launched parallel to the Belgian edition , which, unlike the 'original edition', was numbered consecutively. This French edition underwent some changes, title changes and renumbering, which documented the endeavor to form a magazine that was independent from the Belgian edition. Thus, up to January 4, 1973, 1262 editions of Edition Française were published , followed by 140 editions of Tintin L'Hebdoptimiste .

Heyday

On September 16, 1975, a 'new' French edition started again under the title Nouveau Tintin , which was designated both with number 1 and with number 141, continuing the numbering of the earlier edition. On May 30, 1978 the last, independent French Tintin edition appeared with the number 142 (number 282 of the old counting method): From number 143 - the Belgian edition had meanwhile also switched to continuous counting - there was only one French-language Tintin, which appeared until November 29, 1988 (number 690).

Decline

With Tintin Reporter , the short-lived successor started on December 9, 1988 (34 issues until July 28, 1989), which was replaced by Hello Bédé (197 issues from September 1989 to June 1993). After Pilote was hired in 1989, after the last issue of Hello Bédé , Spirou was the last of the three big Franco-Belgian comic magazines left.
