Literature of the time reflected the memories many harbored of the horrors of World War I. A major seller was ''[[All Quiet on the Western Front]]'' by [[Erich Maria Remarque]]. Remarque was a German who had fought in the war at age eighteen and been wounded in the [[Third Battle of Ypres]]. He stated that he intended the book to tell the story "of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war." Another 1929 book reflecting on World War I was [[Ernest Hemingway]]'s ''[[A Farewell to Arms]]'', as well as ''[[Good-Bye to All That]]'' by [[Robert Graves]].<ref>Gilbert, pp. 769–70</ref> In lighter media, a few stars of the comic industry made their debut, including ''[[The Adventures of Tintin|Tintin]]'', a [[comic book]] character created by [[Hergé]], who would appear in over 200 million comic books in 60 languages.
