Michael Farr, author of Tintin: The Complete Companion, notes: ``Whereas Herg* kept Tintin's facial expressions to a bare minimum ... Haddock's could be contorted with emotion.'' Farr goes on to write that ``In Haddock, Herg* had come up with his most inspired character since creating Tintin'' and sales of the volume in which Haddock was introduced indicated the character was well received.
