Tintin

The Adventures of Tintin is a series of comic strips and books created by Hergé - the pen name of Georges Remi. They tell the story of Tintin, a young Belgian reporter, accompanied by a fox terrier called Snowy. The adventures took place across the globe, including Tibet, Egypt, the Congo, China, a fictional country in the Middle East called Khemed, Soviet Russia, the United States (specifically, gangster-era Chicago, Illinois), and even the Moon.

The books have been extremely controversial, with accusations of sexism, imperialism, anti-Semitism and positive depiction of animal cruelty.
