　　在他首次訪問英國近70年后。這位世界聞名的比利時人帶著同樣著名的小狗再次來到英國，并將在此停留5個月。[2]這就是丁丁。一名據悉充滿冒險經歷卻只發表過一篇報道的永遠年輕的記者。[1]他正在倫敦國家海洋館舉辦一次新的展覽來慶祝他的75歲生日。

　　《丁丁歷險記》是比利時漫畫家喬臺·雷米原創的一本漫畫集，喬治-雷米更為人熟知的名字叫埃爾熱，埃爾熱是喬浩·雷米首字母縮寫中兩個字母顛倒過來的法語發音。書中還包括一些賦予他靈感的人工制品和模型。

　　該展覽將于本周三向公眾開放，一直持續到9月5日。在展覽會的預展上，倫敦國家海洋館館長羅伊·克萊爾告訴記者說：“埃爾熱一生熱愛大海，還有最重要的一點.他是一個對細節一絲不茍的人。”

　　丁丁，頭上頂著一縷標志性的頭發，總是穿著一條燈籠褲，足跡遍布世界各地。他和他的一條小白狗到世界各地探險，從西藏到美洲，從冰島到非洲。小白狗的英文名叫“白雪”，法語名叫“米盧”。

　　自從丁丁這個連環畫中的人物1929年問世以來，有關他冒險經歷的書已經被翻譯成60種語言，銷售量連到2億冊。

　　盡管在故事中，[3]丁丁和脾氣暴躁的同伴阿道克船長最近到過月球。但是大海卻是反復出現的主題，如：《金鉗螃蟹販毒集團》、《海盜失寶》和《獨角獸號的秘密》。

　　埃爾熱是一位自學成才的畫家，他只是在創作獲得成功后才開始到處旅游。[4]第二次世界大戰期間，他一直生活在比利時，他被指控犯有通敵罪，之后又立即被宣告無罪，結果他被放逐了一段時間。他也曾因為早期《丁丁歷險記》中的一些情節被指控有種族歧視。

　　[5]在1938年出版的故事《黑島》中，描述了記者丁丁到英國的唯一一次旅行。比利時駐英國大使館文化專員若雷恩·范迪維爾告訴記者說，“在這次展覽中，人們將看到4位著名的比利時人，他們是丁丁、白雪、阿道克船長，當然還有埃爾熱本人，這是他們在66年后首次重返英倫。”
