In 2025, Tintin will enter the Public Domain.

In 2018, the late Murray Groat came up with these evocative covers.

Who knows? Maybe we can finally get stories to go along with the covers?
Yeah, but the TinTin universe will be piecemeal based on individual publication dates. Tintin, the character, will do so in 2025 because he debuted in 1926. But Captain Haddock, for example, will not until 2040, I believe, because he debuted in 2041. Snowy debuted in 1929, so even Tintin's loyal pet has to wait until 2028.

So, we start with Tintin The Unnamable, which should probably just be Tintin and his dog, and some generic foil character. I suppose several Weird Adventures will have to wait for Captain Haddock or Professor Calculus to hit PD (the latter won't be until 2042). But Milou appeared with Tintin in the original weekly serial, so he should be PD as well.

A death match between all the public domain characters every year on Public Domain Day.
