1,000+ Tintin Covers: Actual Book, Pastiche, Parody, Imitation, Farce, Staire, Fake, Mockery, Pirate, Mimic, Scoff, Joke, Spoof, Fantasy ~ Page 2by Dave Ahl (aka SwapMeetDave)
More than 1,000 Tintin real, pastiche, imitation and parody covers are on these pages. A pastiche is a work that closely imitates the work of a previous artist, usually distinguished from a parody in the sense that it celebrates rather than mocks the work it imitates. You will find works on these pages that have been described by many names: parody, farce, staire, pirate, fantasy, spoof, fake, lampoon, funny, travesty, mockery, mimic, counterfeit, forgery, false, ridicule, scoff, joke, humorous, foolish, silly, or imitation. |

This is Page 2 of imitations of Tintin covers of books 11 to 24 plus three videos. In these illustrations, the title or general design, loosely interpreted, correspond to one of the 24 Tintin books or videos. The first ten books can be found on Page 1 ~ Tintin books 1 to 10. That page has information about the artists also.
Also on this site is a page of imitations in which the design, type, and layout is generally similar to a genuine Tintin cover. This category includes covers for other characters and people (the Duponds, Flinflins, Zinzin, Clinton, etc.). Click here for Page 3 ~ similar Tintin parody covers.
Lastly, you'll find covers inspired by Tintin books but with a different style or design. Lots of weird stuff in this group. Some are just sketches and not finished covers at all. I've tried to weed out covers of real books and videos about Hergé and Tintin, magazine covers, and advertisements (like for the Citreon 2CV), but some almost certainly slipped in. Click here for Page 4 ~ inspired by Tintin fake covers.
Page 5 is a CONTEST which challenges YOU to design a Tintin imitation, parody, or fake cover. It has the rules of the contest, downloadable Tintin type font, and images of some other characters to get you started. Budding artists, don't miss this page!
This is not a blog. My experience is that blogs get cluttered with a lot of irrelevant comments and it gets harder over time to find the “meat” of the site. I welcome comments and submissions via e-mail (use the “Send Mail” button), and I will post appropriate ones on these pages. My web site (SwapMeetDave.com) gets about 7,000 visitors every day, which leads to a lot of e-mail. I read it all and try to answer as much as I can, but I'm just one retired guy with a lot of other stuff on my plate as well as this web site. So be patient with me. Thanks!
The illustrations. If you click on any thumbnail image on this page, you'll get to see the biggest one I have in a separate window. Where I had gigantic images, I reduced the height to a maximum of 800 pixels. In some cases, all I have is a tiny image; sorry about that. If you have a better or missing illustration, please e-mail it to me at SwapMeetDave@aol.com.

The Secret of the Unicorn (1943) ~ English Translation (1959) |
Hergé's 11th book, The Secret of the Unicorn, was published in color in 1943. Written during WWII, it is the first book in the series to avoid political themes, instead focusing purely on an adventure story, and has been described as being the first book in Hergé's middle period. The story is concluded in the next book, Red Rackham's Treasure. Shown here are four “official” covers and 11 spoofs and parodies. |

Red Rackham's Treasure (1944) ~ English Translation (1959) |
Hergé's 12th book, Red Rackham's Treasure, was published in color in 1944. The book is notable for its introduction of main character Professor Calculus. It is the best-selling book in the Tintin series yet it inspired fewer imitation covers than many others. Shown here are three “official” covers, and 15 spoofs and parodies. |

The Seven Crystal Balls (1948) ~ English Translation (1962) |
Hergé's 13th book, The Seven Crystal Balls, was published in color in 1948. The book was inspired by the ancient “curse of the pharaohs.” Shown here are two “official” covers, and many fakes and farces. |

Prisoners of the Sun (1949) ~ English Translation (1962) |
Hergé's 14th book, Prisoners of the Sun (French: Le Temple du Soleil or Temple of the Sun) was published in color in 1949. The book was the second volume in a two-part adventure begun in The Seven Crystal Balls a year earlier. It had only one cover, but there were several other “official” covers for three films, a record (of a musical stage production), several video games, and a book of postcards. |

Land of Black Gold (1950) ~ Remake (1971) ~ English Translation (1972) |
Hergé's 15th book, Land of Black Gold began to be serialized in black and white in Le Petit Vingtième, children's supplement to the conservative newspaper Le XXe Siècle, in 28 September 1939. It was suspended during the war and finally completed in color in 1950. Over two decades later, in 1971, Hergé and his assistant Bob de Moor rewrote parts of the story to move the setting from the British Mandate for Palestine to the fictional state of Khemed. |

Destination Moon (1953) ~ English Translation (1959) |
Hergé's 16th book, Destination Moon (French: Objectif Lune) is part 1 of a story in which Tintin and Captain Haddock receive an invitation from Professor Calculus to come to Syldavia, where Calculus is working on a top-secret project. The book was written 19 years before the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing and several years before manned space flight, but Hergé's story is essentially accurate. Shown here are two “official” covers and eight takeoffs and fakes. |

Explorers on the Moon (1954) ~ English Translation (1959) |
Hergé's 17th book, Explorers on the Moon (French: On a Marche sur la Lune “We Walk on the Moon”) is part 2 of a story in which Tintin, Haddock, and others go to the moon in the rocket of Professor Calculus. Moon landings were not something to make fun of and relatively few artists mocked these books. Here are three “official” covers and nine spoofs. |

The Calculus Affair (1956) ~ English Translation (1960) |
In Hergé's 18th book, The Calculus Affair (French: L'Affaire Tournesol), Professor Calculus has invented a machine capable of destroying objects with sound waves. Several critics have labelled this as the greatest and most “detective-like” of the whole Tintin series. Here is the “official” cover and 11 fakes. |

The Red Sea Sharks (1958) ~ English Translation (1960) |
The original French title of Hergé's 19th book, Coke en Stock, is slang meaning “black people traffic” or possibly “we have slaves on board.” In the politically-correct English title, The Red Sea Sharks, “sharks” means gangsters or villains, not fish. This book is notable for bringing together a large number of characters from previous Tintin adventures. Its distinctive cover design plus the word play and puns on its French title make it the most spoofed of all the Tintin books. I have arbitrarily put covers that copy only the design in the Similar Design category. Here are two “official” covers and 31 fakes. |

Tintin in Tibet (1959) ~ English Translation (1962) |
The 20th book, Tintin in Tibet, was an “intensely personal book” for Hergé, who would come to see it as his favorite of the Tintin adventures. Its distinctive cover sparked many imitations and parodies. Here is the one “official” cover and 19 others. |

The Castafiore Emerald (1963) ~ English Translation (1963) |
The Castafiore Emerald (French: Les Bijoux de la Castafiore) is the 21st Tintin adventure by Hergé. Conceived as a narrative exercise, Hergé wanted to see if he could maintain suspense throughout 62 pages of story with no villains, locations, guns, or danger, and with a clearly deceptive solution. Here is the one “official” cover and ten others. |

Tintin and Alph-Art (1986) ~ English Translation (1990) ~ Additional Material (2004) |
Tintin and Alph-Art was the intended 24th Adventure of Tintin by Hergé. It is a striking departure from the earlier books in tone and subject, as well as in style; rather than being set in the usual exotic, action-packed environment this story is largely played out in the world of modern art. Hergé worked on the book until his death in 1983. It was published posthumously (despite its unfinished status) in 1986 by Casterman in association with the Hergé Foundation. The foundation republished it in 2004 with further material. Because it did not have a cover by Hergé, many artists tried their hand at disigning a suitable cover. Below are two “official” covers and 23 others. |

Film: Tintin and the Golden Fleece (1961) |
Tintin and the Golden Fleece (French: Tintin et le Mystère de la Toison d'or) was one of ten Tintin films and videos. I am listing only three here which sparked at least a few imitation covers. Most did not. This was a live-action film with actors made-up to look like the characters and featured an original storyline not based on any of the books. The book was made up of written text with stills from the film, some in color, others in black and white. Below are some “official” book and video covers and a few spoof images. |
