Did you know Hergé did a ton of advertisment for Citroen?

Yeah, I've seen that site before. Its very interesting but some of the info in incorrect. Check this quote from the site out:

'The peak was in mid-80's, when Hergé produced 4 brochures for Citroën. The "Aventures de la 2CV" appeared in France, Belgium, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland and Austria. In 1985, Hergé did a calendar for Citroën.'

Herge died in 1983, how could he have produced those brochures and the calendar? It must have been done earlier by Herge or maybe Bob de Moor even did it?
Who knows?

I think the ads were created by Bob de Moor and the folks at Studio Herge. The Studio closed in 1987.

Re: The previous discussion...

Here is a link to a page featuring the wonderful illustrations made for the Citroen Calendar (1985?).

They sure look like Herge's work to me.
