The Phantom is more male orientated. Asterix was kinda comical. Marvel and DC to be frank are garbage with no coherent story line. Disney have proven that.

Since Tintin was syndicated in newspapers that might be an entry point. But it's huge world wide, it had to be translated from French to English so the system to translate was already set-up. The Tintin store in Singapore is cool.

The full set, minus Tintin in the Congo which has to be bought separately, is on Amazon etc - https://www.amazon.com/Tintin-Paperback-Boxed-Set-titles/dp/...
