Different laws may apply world wide. Ie: in Europe is not about the publication date, but author life-span (author's works get in public domain 70 years it's death: TinTin gets in PD in EU in the 2054)

I'd be interested in a Tintin game more than Popeye, personally.

I'm not sure what that would look like, frankly. I guess you could go for a narrative Telltale-style thing? Making an Uncharted game with a Tintin skin would be missing the point. And you´d have to come up with almost entirely new story ideas anyway, the only story in the public domain in the US is the original version of In the Land of the Soviets.

But hey, I would have said the same thing about Indiana Jones and there it is, so... maybe somebody has a clearer picture in their heads than I do. I genuinely doubt the license was what kept something like this from happening, though.

Maybe more of a mystery story? Just take the "investigative reporter" angle and run with it.
