Catalogue information
Line was a comic magazine for girls that ran from 1955 to 1963. It is Tintin's sister magazine. The magazine was sold in 1963 to Daniel Filipacchi who changed the name to Mademoiselle Age Tendre. Line's first issues derive a lot from the British girls' magazine Girl (Mad et Gloria = Wendy and Jinx; Robbie du Manoir Rouge = Robbie of Red Hall; Claire Avril = Lindy Love; Caroline = Lettice Leefe; Belle du Ballet = Belle of the Ballet ; Maman vous this comment = Mother tells you how; Le coin de la cuisine = Cookery Corner). Comics from Girl can also be found in the Dutch magazine Arend. Later, the figure Line is introduced in the magazine, which will eventually result in the comic Line (Dientje) by Cuvelier and Greg.

The comic 'Tess - Le mysterieux voyage' is also from Girl (1953, Tess and the mystery journey) and it is mentioned as author Noel Sudmersen and as draftsman Dudley Pout. The comic 'Ruth, a true story from the bible' is also borrowed from Girl. Author and draftsman are Chad Varah and Gerald (Gerry) Haylock.
