''Le Thermozéro'' is an abandoned comics project at one point considered for Hergé's ''The Adventures of Tintin'' series, and then, later, for his ''Jo, Zette and Jocko'' series. ==History== In 1960, Hergé began developing a plot line on the basis of a December 1957 article from ''Marie-France''. Written by Philippe Labro, the article was titled "La Peur qui vient du futur" ("The Fear of the Future") and told the story of two American families who had been exposed to high levels of radioactivity after breaking a pill. He jotted down a number of notes about the proposed story: :A bottle (or some other object) containing a deadly substance (atomic pills? See ''Marie-France'') has been carried off (by mistake) by someone. Tintin pursues the fellow and finds him just as the substance in question is about to unleash its damaging effects. He turned the project over to staff at Studios Hergé to work on, with the cartoonist Greg developing two plot synopsis for two stories, ''Les Pilulues'' ("The Pills") and ''Tintin et le Thermozéro'' ("Tintin and the Thermozero"). Hergé took the latter project and produced eight pencil sketches for it. However, Hergé was uncomfortable with working on a story already plotted out by someone else, commenting that: :I felt like a prisoner in a straitjacket unable to get out. Personally, I need to be constantly surprised by my own inventions. Besides, my stories are always created in the same way. I know my starting point, and I know more or less where I want to end up, but the route I take to get there depends on my whim of the moment. According to Hergé biographer Benoît Peeters, the problem with Greg's outlines was that he had "absorbed the style of ''The Adventures of Tintin'' to the point of imitating it." Unwilling to abandon a good idea, Hergé planned to make ''Le Thermozéro'' the plot of the third filmed adventure of Tintin but once again, this did not take place. Bob de Moor, Hergé's assistant, was asked to change the synopsis and make it the sixth ''Jo, Zette and Jocko'' adventure. After a few sketches were made this project fell through as well, as Hergé asked Bob de Moor to modernize ''The Black Island'' instead. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Le Thermozéro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
