Default Tintin and Snowy drawing sells for €500,000

Tintin and Snowy drawing sells for €500,000

A colour drawing of Tintin and his faithful canine companion Snowy sold at a Paris auction on Saturday for more than half a million euros.


The India ink and watercolour image, which went under the hammer for €505,000 ($595,000), shows the intrepid pair in the company of a butler in a royal palace.

It was drawn by the Belgian cartoonist known as Herge as the cover illustration for the 1939 newspaper serialisation of "King Ottokar's Sceptre".
