An accompanying online feature at PBS.org explores the growing acceptance of comic books — er, cough, graphic novels — as a legit form of art and lit for adults, and includes interviews with six contemporary comic artists who talk about Hergé's influence on their work: Jessica Abel (La Perdida), Daniel Clowes (Ghost World), Phoebe Gloeckner (Diary of a Teenage Girl), Jason Lutes (Berlin), Seth, and Chris Ware (Jimmy Corrigan – The Smartest Kid on Earth).
