    THE ADVENTURES OF REPORTER FOR “LE PETIT VINGTIEME.. casterman FOREWORD Tintin au Congo first appeared as a serial from 5 June 1930, over a period of a year, in “Le Petit Vingtiéme”, the children’s supplement to the Brussels newspaper “Le Vingtiéme Siécle”. In 1931 the story was published in book form by Les Editions du Petit Vingtiéme and a few months later by Editions Casterman of Tournai. It is from the former edition that the present book is presented in English translation. In his portrayal of the Belgian Congo, the young Hergé reflects the colonial attitudes of the time. He himself admitted that he depicted his Africans according to the bourgeois, paternalistic stereotypes of the period. The same may be said of his treatment of big-game hunting and his attitude towards animals. LoL. MT Translated by Les Lonadale-Cooper and Michae!
