Georges Prosper Remi (May 22, 1907 – March 3, 1983), better known by the pen name Hergé, was a Belgian graphic novel writer and artist. "Hergé" is the French pronunciation of "R.G.", his initials reversed. His best-known and most substantial work is The Adventures of Tintin. The Tintin album The Blue Lotus was long time banned in China for its pro Kuomintang view and support.
