Tintin event at Meltdown Comics
A rare treat for Tintin fans: Meltdown Comics on L.A.’s Sunset Boulevard is holding a product exposition and store for brand-new and hard-to-find Tintin material like watches, porcelain statues, miniatures and more.
Meltdown has been THE place for Tintin stuff in L.A. for years, and this event only runs from Dec. 4-13, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The store is working with European importer Kiss That Frog to bring the goods in.
You can probably expect more Tintin stuff to slowly begin making its way to America, the one land where he never really took off beyond a core group who appreciated the European-centric art and storytelling, in advance of the two movies being made by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson. This exhibition is not connected to the movie, but you can bet that Paramount and DreamWorks will be looking for ways to make sure audiences will be primed for the release of the first movie, Dec. 23, 2011. (Two years away. Sigh.)
