Tintin is one of the world’s most beloved comic book characters. 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.

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.
