NOURISHING HERGE'S WORK: Casterman, which published Tintin for author Georges Remi (better known by his pen name Herge), obtained the publishing rights from Herge's wife after his death in 1983. But British businessman Nick Rodwell has become the real custodian of one of Belgium's biggest stars. After his marriage to Herge's widow, Rodwell took charge of Moulinsart, a business which holds the rights to all Tintin character merchandising. IN THIS PICTURE
