Le Petit Vingtième

Le Petit Vingtième was a Belgian weekly magazine launched in 1928, primarily aimed at children and young readers. It gained worldwide fame as the original publisher of "The Adventures of Tintin," created by Hergé. The magazine featured comic strips, stories, and educational content, fostering a love of reading and adventure among youth. It operated until 1940, when World War II disruptions led to its closure. Le Petit Vingtième played a significant role in Belgian popular culture and in shaping early 20th-century comic storytelling, especially through its influential publication of Tintin, which remains a legendary character today.
