Explorers on the Moon1953

“I could have depicted monstrous animals, incredible creatures, men with two heads … I was overcautious (about sticking to reality): no Moon men, no monsters, no wondrous tales!” –HergéThe crew’s space adventure generates a lot of envy—to the point where traitors board the rocket alongside Tintin, Calculus, Haddock and a few others. How will they uncover the saboteurs? Will they return to Earth safe and sound?Tintin, perhaps one of the most famous cartoon heroes of all time, is as much a child of the 20th century as his creator, Georges Remi—aka Hergé (1907-1983). Tintin’s adventures, marked by his inquisitiveness, sense of mystery and witty humour, are deeply rooted in the events of that tumultuous era.Featuring an official new English translation.
