Le Monde
Le Figaro
La Libre Belgique
Le Soir

Answer

Hergé continued The Adventures of Tintin series in Le Soir, a Belgian newspaper, during the German occupation of Belgium in 1940. This was a controversial move, as Le Soir was seen as a collaborationist newspaper. However, Hergé argued that he was only continuing the series to provide entertainment for his readers during a difficult time.
