“…In France, another country with a rich comic book tradition, scientific research on the links between sport and graphic narratives has been increasing since 2000, as is the case with studies on the Olympic Games in The Adventures of Asterix, or the Smurfs [7] and, more generally, on institutionalized and codified sports in comic books. Other articles have studied political mythologies in Pellos's comics, analyzing an athlete's fate when he goes off to war [8]. Another study of the albums of the comics series Michel Vaillant published in the 1960s uses different tools, drawn from fields such as historical study, management and philosophy, to highlight the myth of the progress of man [9].…”

Created by Hergé in 1929, Tintin is a truly successful publication, since these comic books have been translated into about a hundred languages and published throughout the world during the 20th century. Several studies have already been conducted on Tintin. However, the place and role of physical and sports activities practiced by this tireless journalist in the promotion of these highly sustainable activities have never been analyzed. Through both quantitative and qualitative analyses (descriptions, counts, frequencies and percentages), this work studies all the panels of the 23 albums of Tintin’s adventures dealing with any form of physical exercise or sport. The results indicate that the representation of physical and sporting activity in Tintin’s adventures remains steady and consistent from the first (1931) to the last book (1976). Thus, Hergé had never ceased to believe in the beneficial, physiological, psychological, moral and social effects of physical activity on his young, tireless hero. To summarize, the eternally youthful and perfectly fit, Tintin leads both his core band and occasional characters and may serve as a role model influencing young 20th century readers toward the benefits of an active lifestyle.

“…1 Some time after this, university studies were published which analysed the representation of sport in the most well-known comic books. Thus, the sport comic hero Alf Tupper 2 and a series recounting the adventures of an athlete during the Second World War 3 were studied and the theme of the Olympic Games was analysed in illustrated anthological series such as Bibi Fricotin, Les Pieds Nickelés, Asterix and The Smurfs. 4 The comic book character Michel Vaillant, created by Jean Graton, appeared for the first time in 1957 in the weekly Tintin.…”

Jean Graton created a series of comic books called Michel Vaillant, and its motorsports hero bore the same name. Michel Vaillant made his first appearance in 1957 in the weekly Tintin. Young French boys who loved adventure, sports and car racing greeted this publication with great enthusiasm. We studied the first series of Michel Vaillant, composed of 16 comic books produced in the 1960s. We have departed from traditional approaches and have based our method on the analysis of the sources of Graton's inspiration. We link these sources to the comics' text bubbles, visual signs and iconic meanings of the drawings. Our analysis of the comics' iconography based on the establishment of a mass culture dedicated to the automobile brings to light the existence of an urge to go beyond the limits of tradition. Our research highlights that the success of Michel Vaillant is due, in the main, to the series' detailed knowledge of the automobile sports industry, and to the myths of speed, youth and progress that it promulgatesmyths in which its young male readers could see themselves reflected and which would also prepare them for the future.
