Over the years I've greatly enjoyed seeing so many artists do Tintin tribute & pastiche covers. I notice that the vast majority take great care to appear 'authentic,' yet that doesn't stop some from going in thoroughly gonzo & absurdist directions, which I confess tend to be some of my favorites.

<<HERE>> then is a small general collection, drawn from many sources. Some of them I couldn't find quality art for, so I used upscale and editing tools to enhance.

If you'd like to browse through more fake covers (there are seemingly thousands), may I suggest these sites-- [1], [2], and [3].

(btw, the joke in the preview image is that the French pronunciation of "Tintin" is near-identical to the way "Taun Taun" is pronounced in English, in the Star Wars franchise.
