Rastapopoulos

Few villains carry themselves with quite the oily, unforgettable menace of Rastapopoulos, who made his catalog debut in Tintins oplevelser #5 in 1961, brought to these pages by the legendary Hergé alongside Jørgen Sonnergaard. A fixture of the Silver Age, he moves through a world populated by some of comics' most beloved figures — Tintin, Kaptajn Haddock, General Alcazar, and Allan Thompson all share his adventures across the Tintins oplevelser series, published by Illustrationsforlaget. His catalog appearances may be select, but in the world of Tintin, Rastapopoulos is anything but a minor player — he's the kind of antagonist whose presence on the page signals that the stakes have just gotten very serious indeed.
