To the reader's utmost delight, they will discover the deeper causes of Tintin's success.
The characteristics of this legend, its transformations throughout the 20th century, are clearly documented here by the author.
"Since Tintin unites in his persona two opposing aspects of existence, childhood and adulthood, he is a reconciling myth. The secret purpose of the myth is to restore a trust between two generations that was lost after the war of 1914-18.
Therefore, without having clearly decided it, Herge forged a new myth, characteristic of the 20th century, which I call the superchild."
