Milles Sabords...1932 Tintin Cover Original Painting fetches $1.2 Million

Art collecting is not all about old masters, statues, animals in various states or other provocations as the recent auction at Artcurial in Paris (March 29) proves.

An AFP news brief, Blistering Barnacles! Tintin artwork fetches record price, reports how the original oil painting for the cover of Tintin in America managed to be sold for $1.2 Million (764,200 Euros).
