Just like Hitchcock, who made fleeting appearances in his own films, Herge had a habit of slipping himself into his comic books.
So in King Ottokar's Sceptre (plate 38, panel D1), you can spot him among the crowd of guests invited by King Muskar XII to attend the private concert given by Bianca Castafiore in the palace's Hall of Festivities.
It is therefore as a mere onlooker - and a discreet witness - that he watches the arrest of his own hero.
Modelled on the main characters of The Adventures of Tintin, the 12 cm figurines are made of resin, faithful to the detail of Herge's drawings.
Finely crafted, these pieces are hand-painted.
Delivered in transparent cylindrical packaging, together with a leaflet.
