Hundreds of storyboards, drawings and books by 'The Adventures of Tintin' creator Georges Remi are set to go up for auction in Paris the coming weekend.
Sotheby's, a multinational corporation will put up around 288 items for sale on 7th March, of which around 50 Tintin belongings are signed by the Belgian cartoonist, the BBC reported.
