Ricardo Leite - In Search of Lost Tintin Graphic Novel

Description: Here is a copy of the promotional editon of Ricardo Leite's In Search of Lost Tintin, his autobiographical fantasy about his lifelong journey to write and draw comics. Published in 2022 in French and Portuguese, this is its first English publication. Ricardo's love of comics has informed and directed his life. In 2013, an exciting trip to Belgium for a visit to Brussels and the Hergé Museum led him to weave the threads of a grand tribute to the world of Comics as he travels through the symbolic and cultural universes that have enchanted him throughout his life. The result is his graphic novel In Search of Lost Tintin, a conscious echo of Marcel Proust's masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time. Ricardo describes his graphic novel as a grand psychological reflection on the art of comics, memory and time, an "autobiographical fantasy."As he travels, Ricardo has an ongoing imaginary dialogue about the art, technique and history of comics with the great creators, particularly seeking advice in relation to his own frustrations in trying to become a published comic artist. Sometimes these conversations are based on real encounters, while other times they are inspired by wide reading. Will Eisner, Winsor McCay, Joe Kubert, Art Spiegelman, Scott McCloud, Chris Ware and many others participate in Ricardo's return to his dream of creating and drawing comics.Ricardo's quest stands for all of us who have struggled with their path in life, and particularly for those who have spent a lifetime obsessed with comics.Many readers may lack Ricardo's comprehensive knowledge of the history of comics, and so at the back of the book, he provides extensive annotations on the characters and scenes of the novel, the history of comics and his recommended works, such that the notes combine to form his personal history of comics.Awards and Honors:Published in late 2022 in France, Belgium, Holland, Portugal, Brazil, In Search of Lost Tintin has already been awarded several honors in Brazil, Portugal and Belgium.Won the HQMIX Trophy 2023 in two categories, including Best Comic Book published in Brazil.Awarded in Brazil with the Sisson Trophy at the International Caricature Biennial in 2023.Nominated among the 5 best comic books published in Portugal at the Amadora International Comics Festival 2023.Nominated among the 4 best comic books published in Portugal competing for the Vinhetas D'Ouro 2023 Award.This work earned him the insignia of Knight of the Order of the Crown of the Kingdom of Belgium, a commendation confirmed by King Philippe (Royal Decree of January 20, 2021).This is its first publication for English-speaking markets.Collector note: we produced this promotional edition of 120 copies mainly to generate interest for a larger trade edition. The size and format of that edition have not been determined - it is entirely possible that when the world recognizes Ricardo's genius, copies of the promotional edition will be rare and valuable!
