A giant reproduction of a page from a Tintin adventure has been unveiled as the world's largest comic strip.Measuring 672sqm the classic Hergé image has gone on show in Brussels Grand Place as part of a comic festival.

It shows a scene from the book 'The Adventures of Tintin: Destination Moon' is a whopping 30,000 times the normal size of a page.

The image also weighs around 350kg... as a result no-one has been able to turn the page over and see how it ends.

Organisers say they image was selected because of the obvious Brussels connection and it was 40 years since Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon.
