BOOKS

Created by Hergé at the request of Cœurs Vaillants, this series for young people seemed more in keeping with the morals promoted by the French Catholic weekly than with the exploits of a boy without a family and left to his own devices like Tintin. The action, very animated, shows a sense of slapstick that is delightful, as Hergé's humor here is more graphically exaggerated than in Tintin.... The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko is a comic strip created by the Belgian Hergé, the creator of the famous series The Adventures of Tintin. Much less popular than this one, the series stars two children, Jo and Zette Legrand, and their pet, the monkey Jocko. Composed of six issues, it was eventually abandoned by its author, who, overwhelmed and overtaken by the success of Tintin.

274 pages. French.
