This paper will examine Georges Prosper Remi s (pen name Herge) representation of India in Cigars of the Pharaoh (French: Les Cigares du Pharaon), the fourth volume of The Adventures of Tintin, by this Belgian cartoonist. It was published in Le Petit Viengtieme, the children s supplement of the conservative Belgian newspaper Le Viengtieme Si cle which was serialized weekly from December 1932 to February 1934. I shall argue how India has been (mis)represented by Herge in this volume. For instance I shall try to see how Herge looks at India in a postcolonial exotic manner. I shall try to examine was India really like this in the 1930s when Herge writes and publishes this volume and I shall also investigate the impact of Tintin comics on Indian minds.
