Tintin and Alph-Art

Tintin and Alph-Art (Tintin et l'alph-art) was an unfinished book in the Tintin series. It was being worked on by Herge at the time of his death. The plot involved "alph-art", artworks based on letters of the alphabet.

Left unfinished when he died in 1983, Hergé’s last episode, Tintin and Alph-Art (published in 1986), was to describe the occult world of sects. It was also going to send Tintin wandering into the world of modern art and avant-garde. Although the posthumous album only presents the scenarios and sketches of an interrupted tale, it is however the testimony of the extraordinary narrative and graphic talent of Hergé.

It was published in English around 1990.
