More popular among European readers, The Adventures of Tintin created by the Belgian artist Herge in 1929, revolves around a young orange-haired child, Tintin, and his white fox-terrier, Snowy, as the they travel the globe in pursuit of solving the world's greatest mysteries. Considered one of the most successful comic-books of the 20th Century, the Tintin series has been translated into over 80 different languages and has sold more than 350 copies worldwide.

Bell is unsure how Tintin will be received in the United States. "No one knows about Tintin in America," Bell told The Guardian. "He's not Spiderman."
