An auction in Paris of rare memorabilia of the Belgian cartoon series Tintin has raised more than 1 million euros ($1.23 million), organisers say. The series has become one of the world's most popular comics.
The Tintin series, created by Georges Remi under the pen name Herge, has become one of the most popular comics in the world with translations in more than 50 languages and 200 million copies of the 24 books sold.
The item which attracted the highest bid at 243,750 euros was a couple of frames from King Ottokar’s Sceptre.
In 2008, the original cover of “Tintin in America” sold for about 750,000 euros. Last year, a lot of almost 600 items, including hand-drawn original cartoon strips, raised nearly 1.2 million euros with buyers from as far away as China and Lebanon.
