Hergé was originally trying to imitate the American comic strips of the day so it is unclear if he should be seen as the inventor of the technique but his use of it was the most influential. Much of the "Brussels school" started to use this style, notably Edgar P. Jacobs[?] and Jacques Martin[?], and it was soon used throughout Europe. Nowadays it is commonly agreed that its heyday has probably been and gone.
