However, his creator Herge has a dark secret no one wants to talk about. During World War Two he was accused of being a nazi collaborator. From his time in the Boy Scouts to working for a conservative catholic run newspaper, Herge’s past has always been haunted with accusations of racism and xenophobia. However, his time working for the French newspaper Le Soir, which was being run by the Germans during WWII, is a moral quandary on another level. \n
