I don't think Herge's adventures of Tintin ever topped the two-parter of Destination Moon and Explorers on the moon. Told in a breathless cliffhanger style, with constant uproarious slapstick (every fifth frame shows someone seeing stars), it does in truth find the series resting on its laurels (one cannot think of a more improbable crew for an expedition to the moon than series mainstays Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus and stow-away detectives Thompson and Thomson. A pity Nestor couldn't"Destination Moon" & "Explorers on the Moon" these duo are first science fictions in the Tintin series. Originally published in 1953-54, long before any mission to the moon, Herge has been able to provide convincing and accurate scientific details in most parts. The beautiful illustrations of the moon, earth and space travel are so realistic in terms of surface texture and contrast. I loved the illustrations of night sky, shades of darkness, pale blue earth from the space and the glowing
Another great Tintin book, exciting and often suspenseful :-) And the rocket and method of space travel were very detailed.
*reread*One of the best comic series! Had to read this again, it's my favorite out of all of them.
I've decided to try Tintin as a way of exploring more into the world of comics... But why start at No. 17, you ask?Because I saw a doggy spacesuit, and I could not resist.
i was hospitalized after my thyroidectomy surgery and it was really hard to focus and read something while i was in pain. The adventures of Tintin, specially captain Haddock and Snowy came to my rescue in those times. i can't believe i missed reading these series in my childhood :)
What a lovely treat to receive this as a Birthday gift!Tintin and friends are on their way to the moon, years ahead of Neil Armstrong in an iconic red spaceship. The scrapes and japes are a'plenty and the artwork is wonderful...the small details of the originals clearly showing through from the animated Tintin that I have previously enjoyed. I won't go into the plot, but will say that I shall enjoy reading many more! So many versions of this book, so just for the record I read the 1965 reprint
