A collection of rare Tintin comic albums is set to go under the hammer in Paris Wednesday, featuring several signed by the Belgian cartoonist Hergé himself. One notable inscription reads, "Tintin is just another version of me," on the flyleaf of a personal copy.
Among the 75 graphic novels being auctioned is a unique edition of "Tintin in America," first published in 1932, which has an estimated value of 200,000 euros.
