Tintin mural at Stockel ,Brussels
The underground station Stockel / Stokkel is the terminus of Line 1 in the east of Brussels. Construction of the station started in March 1981. Hergé produced sketches for the murals just before his death in 1983. The sketches feature all of the 140 characters of the Tintin Comic Strip. They were installed on both sides of the 135 meters long underground station's wall by the Studio Hergé and Bob de Moor, before the station went into operation in September 1988.

Just look on the right side of Rue de l'Etuve 37 .
Along this sidewalk you can find many gift shops and cheap waffle shops.
They are not hard to miss as the city’s mascot, Manneken – Pis,
usually in an enlarged copy form, takes its place in the shops entrance!

Thanks to Herge and Tintin, there is a whole tradition of comic strips artists. We were the first to have a comic strip academy, here in Brussels, Saint Luc, out of which came a lot of famous artists. We have a large network of publishers, and that is why we still have the highest density of comic strip authors in the world. They are about 650 comic strip authors in Belgium
20. Various Tintin's Mural
21. SOUNDBITE (English), Tin Antony, spokesperson of the Belgian Comic Strip Centre :
The idea was to re-promote some of the remote neighbourhoods that were a bit forlorn, a little bit poor, less popular with the touristical public (tourists), so that's why the city started looking for some blank walls to put up these murals.

Breaking News - Tintin and the vanishing murals
Tintin and the vanishing murals: Brussels races to save art
He's one of the best-known artists of the 20th Century but, before The Adventures of Tintin, the Belgian artist Hergé created art of a different kind - murals at the Brussels school where he once studied.In the early 1920s Hergé, then a 15-year-old Georges Remi, was a scout and student at Institut St Boniface, in the Ixelles area of Brussels.He adorned the walls of the old scout HQ with lovingly rendered art showing scouts and Native American Indians, as well as a map of Belgium.But now the small garage is in disuse, the walls are in a poor state and many of his drawings have crumbled away.
Tintin's popularity is enduring. The intrepid reporter is a symbol of Belgian culture and helped to inspire an entire art form in the early days of the comic book.
Although Tintin was created in the 1920s, it was during his 1940s run in the Belgian newspaper Le Soir that he really took off.But Le Soir's very existence hinged on its support for the Nazi regime. Accusations of being a Nazi sympathiser have dogged Hergé ever since. Read more about Tintin:
Yet Tintin is still adored the world over. He even got the Hollywood treatment, with a in 2011 film by Steven Spielberg.For that reason, according to historian and archivist Thierry Scaillet from the Catholic University of Louvain (Leuven), it's essential to preserve this first graphical trace of Hergé.It's the only place we know of that still exists where Hergé decorated the walls, he says.
There were other frescoes by him in the same school but those walls disappeared after World War Two.It's the oldest work by Hergé that we know of, Mr Scaillet told the BBC.He sees a clear link between those formative years as a scout and the exploits Hergé would later create for Tintin and his little white dog Snowy.Scouts like the young Georges Remi would

Entry from: Brussels, Belgium
Entry Title: The Comical History of Brussels
Entry:
Europe has a lengthy history of literary prominence and stature. Paris has the Hunchback of Notre Dame, England its Sherlock Holmes and Prague the literary legend of Kafka. But Brussels' literary scene, on the other hand, is a complete joke. No really- It's literally quite funny. What Brussels lacks in Shakespeare, Joyce or Pope it makes up in floppy eared dogs, mustachioed Vikings, shadow chasing cowboys, an adventurous boy with an easily excitable sailor sidekick and, well... lots of little blue Smurfs. The History of Comics in Brussels From a country roughly the size of New Jersey has come an unprecedented amount of comic creativity- A level that has defined the genre from the industry's golden age to its present day renaissance. At the center of the Belgian comic culture is Brussels, the self-proclaimed comic strip capital of the world. From such international icons as Herge's Tintin and Peyo's Smurfs to the multitude of modern titles currently cluttering the comic store shelves, according to legendary comic writer and organizer of the annual Comics Fest Alain de Kuyssche, one thing remains the same: Everyone of them gets their start in Brussels. Alain is the authority on the Brussels' comic book culture. Not only is he the former editor-in-chief of Spirou, a leading comic journal, over the past thirty years he has worked as a writer for such comics as Jacques Martin and Mickey Mouse. Six years ago he founded the Brussels Comic Fest as a way of celebrating the great authors and the great comic culture that has flourished here in Brussels. The emergence of Brussels' comic culture coincided with World War II, when a suffering population turned towards the allure of escapism found in the fantasies of the comic strip. Following the war, comic's early readers began developing their own characters and, as they came of age in the 1960s, produced a plethora of talent for a market eager for more comics. It's a mater of national pride that such a tiny country as Belgium has had such a profound impact and influence on the international comic scene, says Alain. Much of this international influence can be traced to the coinciding popularization of television cartoons, which allowed Brussels to export its golden-age characters to the world. There isn't a minute that goes by where somewhere in the world there's not a TV showing a Smurfs cartoon. Today Brussels' comic culture is experiencing a resurgence as new artists continue to create cutting edge, experimental strips that compliment the nostalgia of its golden age classics. That's why we started the Comic Fest, Alain comments. To bridge the gap between the classics and modern talent, creating opportunities and inspiration for aspiring artists and writers and ensuring that our literary tradition will continue for generations to come. One of these aspiring artists is 24-year-old Pelli, whose favorite comics include the American Spiderman and Batman characters. The shaggy haired and slightly shy Pelli is recognized for his unique style that takes American superheroes and recasts them in the Belgian tradition. Currently he spends his time working on Bedecoone, his self-published comic journal. Someday I hope to get my comics published in one of the big journals, such as Spirou or Tintin, he says. You know, maybe even get one of my characters painted on the side of a building, he states in reference to Brussels' Comic Book Route, a trail of comic-related murals painted on buildings located throughout the city. Yea, that'd be pretty cool, he says with just a hint of a prolonged daydream. The Comic Book Route Brussels' extensive Comic Book Route, an initiative launched by the Belgian Comic Strip Center, is comprised of over thirty murals located on buildings and walls scattered across the city. Each mural acts as a single frame depicting a Belgian comic character within a unique Brussels' scene. From Captain Haddock, Snowy and Tintin running down a fire escape near the Grand Place to Cubitis taking over the iconic ...

LEAD IN :
The comic strip hero Tintin, his little white dog Snowy and his companion Captain Haddock are much loved across the world.
The characters are the creation of the comic strip artist Herge, who was born in Belgium.
This year celebrations are underway for the 100th anniversary of Herge's birth, who was born on 22 May 1907.
STORYLINE:
Herge was the artist who created the character Tintin.
The comic strip boy reporter and his faithful white dog became international stars, popular amongst children and adults alike.
The books were published in a variety of languages as well as being turned into a film, a variety of figurines and souvenirs and even an official coin.
Tintin and his ever-present canine companion Snowy are part of the cultural fabric of Brussels, celebrated on painted walls and in shop windows across town.
But over the next few weeks, Tintin will be standing aside to make room for the centennial celebrations of the birth of his creator, Herge.
Born Georges Remi on 22 May, 1907, he adopted the name Herge and became the accidental artist that went on to draw some 24 Tintin books and other characters, including Quick and Flupke.
Nick Rodwell is the director of the 'Studios Herge', who are organising the celebrations.
