A Congolese student in Brussels is suing the publishers of the comic, Tintin in the Congo, claiming the book violated Belgium's anti-racism laws and is asking that it be banned.
In one scene a black woman is featured bowing before Tintin and exclaiming: 'White man very great. White mister is big juju man!'
When Tintin is chased by a villain and nearly fed to crocodiles, his saviour is a white Belgian missionary.
