Abstract

How much would you pay for a "key moment in the history" of comic book art? An original 1954 drawing by the cartoonist Georges Remi (aka Hergé) showing Tintin, his dog Snowy and retired sailor Captain Haddock in spacesuits and walking on the Moon was sold at auction in Paris for a mouth-watering €1.55m.
