...Postcard showing one of Belgium's most famous comic books "The adventures of Tintin" from Hergé... this series is one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century, with translations published in more than 80 languages and more than 350 million copies of the books sold... I love the books too, I've been a big Kuifje (Tintin) fan for years.... Bedankt Johan!!

King Ottokar's Sceptre is one from the series of 24 comic albums created by Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi, who wrote under the name Hergé.


In this adventure, everything begins with a briefcase left on a park bench in Brussels. The case belongs to Professor Alembick, a sigillographer (a specialist in the study of stamps and wax seals). Doing his good deed for the day, Tintin returns the briefcase to the professor, and it is not long before he joins Alembick on a trip to Syldavia...

Before the movie release of the Secret of the Unicorn film, Belgian Post issued a new serie of stamps. These are a chronological review of all the Tintin films made through years.
The stamps feature scenes from the 1947 Crab With The Golden Shears puppetry film, the early Belvision feature animation version of The Black Island (1961) and Temple Of The Sun (1964), and The Blue Lotus from the 1990′s TV series, set side by side to images from the books they were based upon. Also included are two shots from the Mystery Of the Golden Fleece and The Blue Oranges, the quite hilarious Tintin movies form the early 60s.
