Herge. Tintin - Explorers on the Moon. Britain 1959. Published by Methuen, First Edition in English. Hardcover. Explorers on the Moon (French: On a marché sur la Lune) is the 7th volume of The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Completing a story arc begun in the preceding volume, Destination Moon, the narrative tells of the young reporter Tintin, his dog Snowy, and friends Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, and Thomson and Thompson who are aboard humanity's first manned rocket mission to the Moon. Harry Thompson noted that Explorers on the Moon was widely regarded as Hergé's "greatest artistic achievement",[39] describing the entire moon adventure as "a technical masterpiece" as a result of its "uncannily accurate" depiction of the Moon.[40] Thompson expressed his opinion that Explorers could be compared to the work of science-fiction writers Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. In 1957, the animation company Belvision Studios produced a string of colour adaptations based on Hergé's original comics, adapting eight of the Adventures into a series of daily five-minute episodes. Explorers on the Moon was the second to be adapted in the second animated series; it was directed by Ray Goossens and written by Greg, a well-known cartoonist who was to become editor-in-chief of Tintin magazine. Binding and spine has minimal wear. Some scuff marks to cover boards but still in very good condition.
