Corentin is a series of comics created by Belgian artist Paul Cuvelier (1923–1978).

Hergé, convinced of the merit of these watercolors, commissioned Cuvelier to do a series of comic strips.

[3] At the end of the 18th century, Corentin Feldoë, an orphan of Breton origin, decides to flee the house of his uncle, an inveterate drunkard who has been abusing him.

[4] Seeing the need for a Western-themed comic in Tintin, editor Raymond Leblanc asked Cuvelier to shift the focus of Corentin in 1949.

Cuvelier situated his new adventures in the Wild West but made the hero a grandson of the original Corentin.
