Crackerjack Contemporary Crafts is pleased to present the largest Tintin Collector’s Event Seattle has ever seen. From Friday September 30 through Sunday October 9, an annex to Crackerjack in the Wallingford Center will be filled with limited edition prints, resin sculptures, canvases, figurines and more.

Tintin is a comic character created in Belgium in 1929 by artist Georges Remi, pen name Herge, at the request of the newspaper Le XXe Siecle. The serialized comic strip has gone through many evolutions, from newspaper to book form, from black and white into glorious color, and from French into over eighty different languages.

The exhibit opening will take place Friday September 30, 2011 from 5 – 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served and Tintin “specialists” will be on hand to answer questions about the pieces.

On Saturday, October 8, 2011, customers are encouraged to dress as their favorite Tintin character and join in activities appropriate for all ages.

Hours for the event are as follows: Friday September 30, Opening, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., otherwise Monday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday 12 noon to 5 p.m.
