*Booking information and Call for papers*



An international conference will be held at Leeds Beckett University to 
celebrate one of the most recognised comic characters of the 20th 
century – Tintin. The comicbook series, which follows the roving 
reporter and his dog Snowy, and its creator Hergé will be celebrated at 
the two-day conference at the university, 13-14 June 2018.

The Tintin conference is being organised by Leeds Beckett’s Northern 
Film School and Leeds Art Research Centre. The conference will discuss 
the popularity of Tintin, the relationship between Tintin and Hergé, and 
such areas as friendship, audience appreciation, masculinity, sexuality, 
and legacy.

Keynote speakers will be world-renowned Tintinologist, Michael Farr and 
Professor Laurence Grove of Glasgow University, producer of a new 
documentary about the Tintin adventure /The Black Island/.
