Founded in 1777, Casterman started publishing comics in 1930. Since the publication of the first Tintin comic, which is still the pride of its prestigious catalogue, Casterman has stayed faithful to its initial mantra: to publish quality books for all readers. Casterman publishes comics by major authors such as Hugo Pratt, Tardi, Bilal, Peeters and Schuiten. In addition to comic books, Casterman also publishes a wide range of children’s books, from board books and pop-up books for very young readers to picture books, activity books and non-fiction works. They also publish literary fiction for older readers, by famous authors and illustrators such as émile Jadoul, Anne Herbauts, François Place or David Sala. Casterman’s most famous characters include not only Tintin and Corto Maltese but also Martine, the little girl who has delighted children around the world for over 60 years: émilie, who celebrated her 40th birthday in 2015, and, of course, timeless characters such as Ernest and Celestine by Gabrielle Vincent.
