List of Tintin parodies and pastiches
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There have been many unofficial parodies and pastiches featuring the character of Tintin.
Tintin parodies are technically illegal, as Moulinsart own the copyright. Eric Jenot's Tintin Parodies site was closed down by Moulinsart in 2004 for displaying Tintin parodies/pastiches/pirates.

[edit] Parodies
They generally fall into one of two sub-sections:
[edit] Political
- "Breaking Free" by J. Daniels. It is an anarchist/communist book about Tintin growing up in a poor working class area of England and how he joins the revolution.
- "Tintin in Lebanon". Tintin fights Arabs in Lebanon. This comic was made by the US's National Lampoon, and is strongly anti-Muslim in an ironic sense, as it pretends to support the Reagan administration's supposed policies.
- "Tintin en Irak" (Tintin in Iraq)
- "Tintin au Salvador" (Tintin in El Salvador). Tintin battles the corrupt government of El Salvador.
- "L'Énigme du 3ième Message" (The Enigma of the 3rd Message). Tintin battles an international evil conspiracy involving the Pope.
- "Tintin dans le Golfe" (Tintin in the Gulf)
- "Juquin renovateur du vingtième siècle au Pays de Soviets". This is a re-hash of "Tintin au pays des soviets" with French Political Leader "Pierre Juquin" being drawn instead of Tintin. It is available in the "Elyséez les tous" book by Jalons.
- "Tintin in Basra" featured in MAD magazine
- "Les Harpes de Greenmore" (The Harps of Greenmore). Tintin is an Irish Republican Army terrorist fighting to re-unite Ireland, after the British government kidnaps Calculus in an attempt to blame the IRA.

[edit] Pastiches
- Tintin et Alph-art (Tintin and Alph-art) by Ramo Nash. This is a finished version of Herge's Tintin and Alph-art. It is only available in black and white, and in French.
- Tintin and Alph-art by Yves Rodier. This is a finished version of Herge's book, and probably the most popular pastiche version.[citation needed] It is available in colour and in French and English.
- The Lake of the Sorcerer by Yves Rodier. It is thought of as one of the most akin in style to Herge's drawing style.[citation needed] Tintin uncovers the mystery of a monster in a lake.
- A Day at the Airport by Yves Rodier. Yves Rodier planned to finish the album debuted by Hergé, as soon as his own version of the Alph-Art went completed. Nevertheless, due to harsh reactions from the Moulinsart Foundation, Rodier decided to leave the project, though he finished a single page from the "Airport" album.
- Reporter Pigiste (Freelance Reporter) by Yves Rodier. 3-page story, made in autumn 1992, based rather vaguely on a scenario suggested in issue No. 1027 of the magazine “Spirou” from December 19th, 1957: a young Tintin solves a bank robbery and gets his job with Le Petit Vingtiéme. The end of the story directly leads into Tintin in the Land of the Soviets.
- Tintin and the Thermozéro by Yves Rodier. This page is an inking of a page 4 from a leftover project from Hergé.
- Tintin and the Thermozéro by Ralph Edenbag. First 5 pages (colour) form the same leftover project.
- Tintin in the New World by Frederic Tuten. A novel, that got Herge's permission shortly before his death. Tintin gets bored of adventure and falls in love.
- Tintin and the Flute of the Wendigo and Tintin in Australia by Conlan.
- La Menace des Steppes (The Terror of the Steppes) by Sakharine. Tintin and Haddock battle Soviets in Afghanistan.
- Le rocher des kangourous (The Rock of Kangaroos) by Harry Edwood. Incomplete. Other Edwood pastiches are on hold or never got past the cover drawing.
- Teen Titans Spotlight No. 11, DC Comics, 1987, "The Brotherhood is Dead" written by Jean-Marc Lofficier, art by Joe Orlando
- Tum Tum and the Forged Expenses At the height of its popularity in 1988, Spitting Image produced a tie-in comic book featuring a Tintin spoof where Tum Tum, an alcoholic Fleet Street journalist, follows a false lead to a drugs-smuggling operation at a Soho S&M bar. Captain Haddock is portrayed as 'Captain Haddit', a leather-clad predatory homosexual. The Thomppson Twins (note the double p) turn up at the end of the story to arrest Tum Tum for his forged expenses claims. Snowy is renamed 'Spewy', and ends up being run over by a car. The story makes numerous references to real Tintin adventures (most notably The Blue Lotus) as well as fictional non-canonical ones (such as Tum Tum and the Cross-Eyed Vivisectionist).
- There was a series of adverts for the Citroen 2CV6 involving the Tintin characters which took the form of book covers for non-existent stories. In these, the advertised car appeared prominently as a photograph with the Tintin characters around it. Drawing were done by long-time partener Bob de Moor.
[edit] "Objectif Monde" (Destination World)
This story was released in the newspaper Le Monde on January 28, 1999. To celebrate Tintin’s 70th “anniversary” and the Comics Festival in Angoulême, the Parisian newspaper published a pastiche by David Savard entitled "Objectif Monde". The Hergé Foundation gave its authorization and allowed the publication of this first “official” pastiche, fully approved by Hergé’s beneficiaries. The short story, 26 pages long, makes numerous references to the adventures of Tintin.
The main protagonist is a naive young reporter called Wzkxy, who is embroiled in an unlikely conspiracy theory - supposedly the Tintin books contained encoded messages aimed at the USSR. It has since been reprinted in various forms, and has also been translated into English by Vlipvlop (pseudonym) in early 2006.
