A page of original artwork from Hergé's "Explorers on the Moon" has sold at auction for a record €1.55 million.
The 1954 book is regarded as one of Herge's masterpieces.
"It is one of the most important from Herge's postwar period, on the same level as Tintin in Tibet and The Castafiore Emerald," Artcurial's comics expert Eric Leroy said.
Tintin is one of the most recognisable comic book characters ever created.
Translated into 90 languages and selling in excess of 200 million copies, the cartoons remain popular to this day.
