Professor Calculus: Science's Forgotten Genius
Celebrating the 80th Anniversary of his first appearance in the TinTin classic Red Rackham¿s Treasure, this book provides an in-depth look at the inventions and discoveries of Professor Calculus and the real-life innovations and people that inspired one of Hergé¿s most popular characters.
Hergé (Georges Remi) was born in Brussels in 1907. His pseudonym comes from his initials backwards (R.G., as pronounced in French). Over the course of 54 years he completed 23 albums of The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of all time.
