A rare 1932 hand-drawn cover of a Tintin comic book by Belgian writer and illustrator Herge has fetched a record €1.3 million at an auction. The ‘Tintin in America' cover broke the record, set by the same item in 2008, when it sold for € 764,000.
The cover shows the young adventurer Tintin, dressed as a cowboy and sitting with his dog, Snowy, as axe-wielding American Indians creep up on them.
The drawing was bought by a private collector at an auction in Paris yesterday for €1.3 million ($1.6 million), the BBC reported.
