During World War Two, the
Tintin strip was published in
Le Soir, a paper which collaborated with the Germans occupiers. After the war many of its staff were investigated, and some were prosecuted on these grounds. Hergé was no exception.
When first published in the paper, "The Shooting Star" included scenes with Jews that some have described as nothing short of anti-semitic. These scenes have not been included in the books.
Thus Hergé got into serious trouble with the authorities but Resistance hero Raymond Leblanc spoke up for him and he was cleared - in return for setting up the weekly comic
Tintin magazine.
You can read M. Leblanc's obituary here.
Overall, the post-war
Tintin stories strike me as less politically hard-hitting as compared to those of the 1930s (such as
The Blue Lotus (foreign occupation of China) and
King Ottokar's Sceptre (in which the theft of the sceptre is just one step in a major invasion plan).
He does raise the arms and slave trade in
The Red Sea Sharks and the gypsies are persecuted without much in the way of actual proof of wrongdoing in
The Castafiore Emerald: the liberal Tintin gives them the benefit of the doubt, whereas the more conservative Thompsons are quick to accuse them and stand by this view for much of the story.
