The European colonialism in Africa from the XIXth century onwards had the visual culture as an important support for the circulation of the colonial discourse within the metropolitan audience. Beyond that, visual culture was also responsible for the renovation and elaboration of a varied quantity of stereotypes about the African continent and the peoples living there. From this context, the major objective of this paper is to comprehend which colonial stereotypes are there in the comic Tintim in Africa and, foremost, how they relate to the colonial discourse in this series published between 1930 and 1931 with a clear intention of colonial propaganda destined to a youth audience.
