She is herself a novelist of popular fiction who turns into an investigative journalist as her researches and adventures lead her to a mystical world of crime. She is one of a kind: violent, bossy, funny and always elegant.<\/p>\n<p>The character of Ad\u00e8le was created at a time when French comics showed an abundance of strong male protagonists. Women in a lead role used to be either oversexualized like Barbarella or pictured as ingenuous like B\u00e9cassine. It was Tardi\u2019s intention to turn his heroine into a character equally the same as the other comics\u2019 heroes, making her a member, at the time, of a new movement towards gender equality.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Adventures of Tintin<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_17364\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s-l1000.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17364\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s-l1000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s-l1000.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s-l1000-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s-l1000-768x558.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s-l1000-816x593.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17364\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The comic series &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/itm\/Adventures-of-Tintin-Young-Readers-8-Books-Collection-Pack-Set-Cigars-of-the-Ph-\/192301318376\">ebay<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The Adventures of Tintin is a series of 24 comic albums created by Belgian cartoonist and scenarist Georges Remi.

She was born in 1905 in the French revue <em>La Semaine. <\/em>She comes from the imagination of the French writer Jacqueline Rivi\u00e8re and was drawn by Emile-Joseph Porhyre Pinchon. The most important thing that you could know about her is that she is the first female protagonist in the history of French comics! Becassine has become a very popular character throughout the years in France even though Bretons don\u2019t really appreciate the retrograde way in which their region is depicted. They complain that she is a stereotype of the typical provincial girl seen through the eyes of refined city dwellers.<\/p>\n<p>The heroine is a young Breton housemaid, usually portrayed as wearing a traditional Breton green dress with lace coiffe and clogs. But she is more than that. The writer gave her all sorts of liberties that women didn\u2019t have at the time. She is audacious, she travels, she drives. We can say that she was a model of emancipation in showing that a woman could go beyond her only education and free herself.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tom-tom et nana<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_17368\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jli-tomtom-nana-duo-de-choc.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17368\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17368\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jli-tomtom-nana-duo-de-choc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jli-tomtom-nana-duo-de-choc.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jli-tomtom-nana-duo-de-choc-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jli-tomtom-nana-duo-de-choc-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jli-tomtom-nana-duo-de-choc-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jli-tomtom-nana-duo-de-choc-816x456.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17368\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tom-Tom and Nana &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaimelire.com\/parents\/40-ans-j-aime-lire\/tom-tom-nana-duo-de-choc\">J&#8217;aime lire<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>This one is a French comic series that has been published in the monthly magazine J\u2019aime Lire since 1977.
