Paris-Flash

Paris-Flash

Paris-Flash is a fictional magazine in The Adventures of Tintin. The first page is shown to be green and the last red tinted. The other pages are just white, such as other magazines and newspapers.

Appearnces

The magazine's most notable appearance is in The Castafiore Emerald, when two reporters for the magazine, Christopher Willoughby-Drupe and Marco Rizotto, show up at Marlinspike Hall and interview Bianca Castafiore, then publish a false article claiming that she and Captain Haddock were engaged.

Willoughby-Drupe and Rizotto return to Marlinspike in Tintin and the Picaros to interview Captain Haddock on his reactions and thoughts about Castafiore's imprisonment in San Theodoros.

Inspiration

According to Hergé, he created the magazine after being interviewed for Paris Match and finding the resulting piece dubious and unsatisfactory.
