frbd1-3, Exercise 2: Tintin magazine and a British weekly

Model answer (check the details), using Eagle (from 1950) as the British weekly:

Contents:
- Tintin: serials led by Tintin and by Jacobs's Blake et Mortimer, historical and science-fiction adventures, features and puzzles.
- Eagle: serials led by Dan Dare, plus cutaway drawings, factual features and a moral tone from its founder, a clergyman (check).

Readers: boys and girls in the main, the middle-class family market in both cases; Tintin sold in French and Dutch editions, which meant a larger linguistic market in Belgium.

Money: sales and advertising, with the weekly pages later collected in albums (Tintin) or annuals (Eagle). The decisive difference: the Franco-Belgian albums gave serials a second, longer life as books, while the British weeklies were mostly thrown away.

Care: circulation and ownership details should be checked.
