On a Marché sur la Lune = Explorers on the Moon (Tintin #17), é
Explorers on the Moon is the seventeenth volume of The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist é. The story was serialised weekly in Belgium's Tintin magazine from October 1952 to December 1953 before being published in a collected volume by Casterman in 1954.
Completing a story arc begun in the preceding volume, Destination Moon (1953), 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.
Professor Calculus, Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, and Calculus's assistant Frank Wolff are aboard an atomic rocket-powered spacecraft leaving the Earth bound for the Moon. Soon after takeoff they discover that the detectives Thomson and Thompson have accidentally stowed away on board, putting a strain on the oxygen supply.
The detectives accidentally turn off the nuclear motor, disrupting the artificial gravity and sending everyone floating until Tintin corrects the problem.
They then suffer a relapse of the Formula 14 drug (seen in Land of Black Gold), resulting in their hair growing rapidly in multiple colours, until Calculus subsequently administers a cure.
Haddock, who has smuggled whisky aboard the rocket, gets drunk and takes an impromptu spacewalk, during which he briefly becomes a satellite of the asteroid Adonis, but Tintin is able to rescue him.
The rocket lands in the Hipparchus Crater, with Tintin being the first human to step on the Moon. ...

« Pour la première fois sans doute de l’historie de l’humanité, ON A MARCHÉ SUR LA LUNE! »
Hacía tiempo que no leía estas BD que tanto me encantan. Sin embargo, también es verdad que 1) perdí los PDF en mi ordenador 2) no quería leerlos en español además del hecho que 3) soy un desastre también porque he dejado pasar casi dos años para poder retomarlos porque, (para que mentir), no tengo remedio, si termino una saga o libros en tiempo récord, ya es un milagro.
Estos tomos me los estoy leyendo en su idioma original, francés. A pesar de ser una serie de BD no piensen que tienen un vocabulario sencillo. Al contrario, estos tomos tienen más dialogo que imágenes y el nivel de lengua al que le encuadro es un B1+B2, por no comentar todos los juegos de palabras franceses que se utilizan a lo largo del tomo.
Aún me quedan bastantes obras que leer de Tintín pero por lo que he leído me puedo considerar su fan, me lo paso muy bien leyendo sus aventuras a lo largo del globo seguido de los golpes de gracia de los personajes secundarios que lo acompañan.
Este tomo, a pesar de ser uno de los más famosos de la saga no me ha gustado tanto como me gustaría. Ha habido momentos que se me han hecho cuesta arriba como su anterior entrega, OBJETIF LUNE.
« Soyons plus chevaleresques que ces gens-là, capitaine� »
Sin embargo, sí que me ha gustado mucho ver como por un lado este tomo Tintín muestra su verdadero carácter y no se deja llevar por las tonterías del capitán Haddock borracho así como el doctor Tournesol no es aquel viejo inventor despistado que siempre le sucede algo. Por otro lado, el capitán Haddock, al igual que los policías, Dupond-Dupont, (Hernández, Fernández en España) me han hecho muchas gracias sus escenas y sus juegos de palabras. Eso sí, hay que recalcar que el capitán tiene un ligero problema con el alcohol, así como de mal carácter, pero en parte es lo que hace estos cómics su esencia.
« Et nous irons à Valparaiso, Good-bye, farewell »
En general me lo he pasado muy bien leyéndolos de nuevo. Ha sido agradable volver. A por el siguiente: L’AFFAIRE TOURNESOL.
« Au clair de la terre, Pom, pom, pom, pom, pom ».

This science fictional comic , written in 1954 , 14 years before the first actual moon landing , fails to disappoint , after the precedent set by its prequel , 'Destination Moon'.
This adventure sees Tintin and friends successfully go to the moon and back , defeating such problems as a rapidly depleting oxygen source and villains who have followed them into space .
I read it when I was ten and it led me to become interested in space.
I remember sitting on top of the roof of my home , reading it , and seeing a shooting star fly by. There is something intriguing about these comics

July 29, 2016I'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.

Tintin was one of the comic book heroes of my childhood. I'm going to read my way through the series again as I listen to a radio program about him, and his creator, é. And I come to book #17, Explorers on the Moon, that picks up right off where book #16 ends with our heroes on their way to the moon. The cliffhanger is resolved, and Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, professor Calculus and his assistant, Frank Wolff make their way to the moon. There are some hiccup along the way, like Thompson, and Thomson showing up unexpectedly, but they get there years before Neil Armstrong, and co. They do some research there, but the trip home becomes more hazardous that expected.
The magazine version of this story was serialised from October 1952 to December 1953, and then published as a book in 1954. It is quite interesting to think that in 1953, the year that the serialising of this story was completed, is the same year that saw the premier of the film Cat-Women of the Moon, because even though é doesn't get everything right, he basically made a nonfiction book about a journey to the moon compared to what director Arthur Hilton produced.
I'm not looking past the silliness that one can see in Explorers on the Moon. There is some of that, but for most parts é does a pretty interesting job at bringing his readers a believable vision of what a trip to the moon could look like. The fact that Snowy takes the trip with his friends is an interesting touch, because just a few years later, in 1957 Laika became the first animal in Earth orbit. Snowy got treated much better though. He even gets his own space suit.
Explores on the Moon is not just interesting because of it's connection to the real history of space exploration, but it is also just a fun comic book. Quite funny in it's own right, and it has that in common with Cat-Women on the Moon. It's not quite as funny as Destination Moon, but nearly so. And as a adventure it doesn't disappoint. It's got enough twists and turns, and life threatening situations to be quite exciting.
I know I haven't finished the last few books, but I think é probably reached a peak in his career with these two two book adventures, first the treasure hunt, and then the trip to the moon. In both cases the Tintin formula just works completely. And it is interesting to think that they belong to different genres, the moon duo is very much a realistic science fiction in form. The science that is. The way they get to the moon, and that sort of things. The rest is of course the usual Tintin humorous adventure that is never completely realistic, but fun just the same.
There is one thing more to say about this book, with it the last of the two book adventures ends. The rest of the series are a standalone books. My dog Káta just wants to add that Snowy on the moon in his space suit running, and flying off because of the lack of gravity is the most exciting things she has seen. Snowy is her favourite character, and she doesn't want anything bad to happen to him.

The voyage to the moon that begun in the Destnation Moon continues here. Tintin, Snowy, Captain, and Professor Calculus complete the journey and land on the moon becoming the "first explorers" to land on the moon. :) The journey is not without mishaps. On top of finding the Thompson and Thomson onboard, which marks a considerable threat to their oxygen reserve, Captain decides to "play the goat". :) And the enemy lurks nearby ready to strike and steal the rocket! But as always Tintin saves the day and the explorers complete their journey and return to earth safely.
This is not a plausible plot, but that is my assessment as an adult, for this is surely a fun adventure for a child. But irrespective of the unrealistic touch it was a fun read and I had quite a good laugh. And I think that is all that matters. After all, what we expect from reading a book is enjoyment. And Tintin comics, except one or two, are full of that.

Wow this was a surprisingly sophisticated science-fiction thriller! I was surprised how science-driven it was, and educational considering the time it was written. é clearly cared about accuracy when writing his story (though his zero-g physics were a little loop). The primary plot was about oxygen supply. There are some really dramatic, character-defining moments for the characters, and the best part-- Calculus has a hearing aid so we actually get him to be a character as opposed to a walking spoonerism gag. Top-notch Tintin.

La segunda parte de la aventura lunar de Tintín es mejor que la primera. Se inicia con el alunizaje y continúa con distintos sucesos inesperados que dotan a la trama de gran interés. Las explicaciones científicas son muy amenas, y la aventura, cómo no, fantástica. Hacia el final del cómic, tiene lugar uno de los momentos más emotivos de la serie. Los dibujos, por otro lado, son de los más impactantes: el nivel de detallismo de la superficie lunar es asombroso.

Yazıldığı dönem itibariyle Hedef Ay ve Ay'a Ayak Basıldı'yı oldukça yenilikçi buldum. Yenilikçi derken elbette ki hikaye değil çizimler. Yoksa insanlığın ilk kez ayak bastığı Aya bir gazeteci, küfürbaz ve ırkçı bir deniz kaptanı, bir köpek, iki tane birbirinden salak polis götürmezdiniz.
Roketin içerisindeyken kulenin "hesaplarımızda bir yanlışlık olmasın?" sorusuna çok güldüm. Yani NASA'nın böyle birşey dediğini düşünebiliyor musunuz? Şu seriyi tam seveceğim bir nefret geliyor. Dupond ve Dupont gerçekten katlanılır tipler değiller. Kara Altın Diyarında'da kaptıkları gizemli hızlı saç bıyık uzatan hastalığa bu sefer uzayda yakalanıyorlar. Bu cilt "yerçekimi nedir, ayda insanın kütlesi nedir, uzayda ses var mıdır" şeklinde biraz daha bilgilendiriciydi.
Aya sadece bir tane bilim insanı (Turnusol) göndermeleri dahil hikayede hiçbir mantık olmayan (Aya tank getirdiler?!), yine Herge'nin kötülerinden (Ottokarın Asası - Albay Jorgen) birinin gizemli demeyeceğim saçma bir şekilde roketin içinde çıktığı, 4 kişilik oksijeni 8 kişinin kullanıp hiçbirşey olmadığı yine saçmasapan hikayeye ama çok güzel çizimlere sahip bir ciltti.
Herkese keyifli okumalar!
Roketin içerisindeyken kulenin "hesaplarımızda bir yanlışlık olmasın?" sorusuna çok güldüm. Yani NASA'nın böyle birşey dediğini düşünebiliyor musunuz? Şu seriyi tam seveceğim bir nefret geliyor. Dupond ve Dupont gerçekten katlanılır tipler değiller. Kara Altın Diyarında'da kaptıkları gizemli hızlı saç bıyık uzatan hastalığa bu sefer uzayda yakalanıyorlar.

"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 moon with its craters. O:)

Ένα μήνα και κάτι μέρες μετά την ανάγνωση του πολύ ωραίου "Αποστολή στη Σελήνη", είπα επιτέλους να διαβάσω και τη συνέχεια. Ωραίος, πολύ ωραίος και αυτός ο τόμος, με τη δράση του, το χιούμορ του και τα τρελά σκηνικά του. Σίγουρα πέρασα καλά, έστω και αν προτιμώ τον Τεντέν να ζει περιπέτειες σε εξωτικά μέρη της Γης, και όχι στη μίζερη Σελήνη.

Tintin reaches the moon
20 February 2012
Herge really did his research into this comic, but I suspect that the knowledge regarding space travel at this time had powered ahead. I believe that the Russians had already launched objects into space, however despite that it is very clear from this comic that Herge knew what he was talking about. The reason I say this is because of a number of events in the book: the effect of G-forces when the rocket enters and leaves the Earth; the knowledge that gravity on the moon is 6 times less than what it is on Earth; and the effects of gravity and weightlessness in open space (though we need to remember that gravitational forces on a trip from the Earth to the moon are still going to be significant since the forces of the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon would all be having an effect).
This is a continuation on from . In the first comic they were preparing for the journey and in this comic that are on the journey. Sometimes I wonder though whether the characters on the rocket would have actually been chosen. Tintin is young and very fit, and also has specialised knowledge in radio operation, so yes, he would be a prime candidate. Captain Haddock is a ship's captain, but also a drunkard and a smoker, and probably not very fit, so I would say no. As for Professor Calculus, it would be highly unlikely that he would be making the journey. Most engineers who design and build the rockets remain on Earth, and the ones going into space are generally military officers (I believe in the US they are members of the airforce, though they are also scientists, but a lot has changed since the early days).
This is the last of the double book features: the rest of the Tintin adventures all occur within the single book. However, this is a little different to the other doubles in that it is a direct continuation from the previous book and thus everything that I have mentioned in the previous one applies here as well. Okay, the other doubles were also continuations, however in the previous ones the adventure would take a decidedly new twist, whereas in this one we are always looking towards the Moon and Tintin's ultimate arrival. I do feel that the later books do begin to decline in quality, though they are still entertaining (however, that was before I re-read them, so I will be retracting that statement).
The Thompsons make an appearance in this one, but then again they have pretty much become a mainstay of the comics by this stage, and they are as silly as ever. This time they get the times mixed up and end up on the rocket as it hurtles towards the moon. Then the effect of the pills that they took in begin to take effect, again, with Captain Haddock suddenly being assigned as the ships barber. It is interesting that once Haddock joined the team, the Thompsons seem to become much more incompetent. I notice that the Captain is always berating them for their stupidity, though they do end up standing up for themselves near the end.
Tintin could not be Tintin without intrigue (though I must admit that that is lacking in Red Rackham's Treasure) and we find out here that Wolff is the traitor and that one of Tintin's old enemies has been smuggled on bored. Once again the enemy is referred to the 'unknown superpower' but it is obvious that this unknown superpower is Russia.

This was the first book in the series I ever read. The books in the series just really seemed to stand out on the shelf in my public library so I decided to look through them and read the one with the coolest cover. EXPLORERS ON THE MOON caught my attention because it seemed like science fiction. I started reading it and when I was done I loved it. That was about nine years ago.
I think that it might have been two or three years later but at some time, I was in a bookstore in India and I just happened to see an English translation of the book. I asked my mom if I could buy it and we did, along with an English translation of LAND OF BLACK GOLD. The price sticker's still on it; it was 275 rupees (that's about $5.50).
I read just about all of the TINTIN books other than TINTIN IN THE CONGO (I don't want to read it because it will probably ruin my opinion of the series) but I wanted to read them all again before reviewing them.
This one's still as awesome as I remember it. Everything's perfect. The dialogue, the plot, the pacing, and of course the artwork, are all great. Something else I like is that, although his is one of the most (if not *the* most) macabre of the books, it's also hilarious at times. When I first read the book, Captain Haddock was my favorite character because of the colorful language he used. I think he's still my favorite character in the series.
The thing about the TINTIN series is that you don't need to read the books in order. You'll know more about the characters I you do but they all stand alone.
There were a few things that confused me when I first read it. One was that Tintin used the word "fantastic" to describe Captain Haddock's letter that explained that he left the rocket. We usually use the word to mean "wonderful" these days and not "unbelievable" so I was stuck for a while wondering why Tintin thought the situation was wonderful. I also didn't know what Punch-and-Judy was so I didn't get the joke there. And then there was the whole "turning operation" for the rocket. We know now that making rockets with stages is the best way (and only?) way to land it on the Moon. I didn't bother looking at the publication date, however. I didn't have a problem with the fact that they took a dog, Snowy, on the mission, though I should have back then (I hated CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY because it was too illogical back then), but I was confused about whether or not Snowy actually spoke (because, you know, in the GARFIELD comic strips it seems like Garfield can talk even though he uses thought bubbles instead of speech bubbles).
Other than that, I thought EXPLORERS was awesome. It's my second favorite now, though. (I think THE BLACK ISLAND is just slightly better (although, sadly, it doesn't have Captain Haddock). Most of the books in the series are awesome. It's only too bad they're not so well known here in America as they are in the rest of the world.

I pity the child who doesn't get to experience the or Tintin graphic novels. It would be almost as bad as a childhood devoid of Lego in my opinion. In all seriousness though I do believe that Tintin is the perfect example of a book all children should have the opportunity to read. I know that at the school libraries I've visited that children love them still here in Australia. I read many books in my childhood (many of them trashy unforgettable child stories that I look back and laugh at) and there are too many to properly get nostalgic (there are many books I still forget I've read until I stumble over them. for example... or the for another instance). Well either way I had what seemed like a large bookshelf full of old children's books when I was young. But what I loved and remember reading was books like Tintin. Books that had memorable characters.
And to this day this particular story remains my favourite. Perhaps it was the touch of science fiction or fantasy. How Johnson and Johnson grow that long green hair and how the astronauts find frozen water on the moon. I guess it was the touch of whimsy that added to the magical, childish charm in the Tintin stories.
Speaking of Tintin the film that came out recently is a fine example of how motion capture can be used to create a stunningly visual film. It looks really, really fine. Of course the plot is merely a rehash of another Tintin story (making it a pretty decent adaptation therefore) but that said it is a very well made animated film I think and reminded me all the more of these books. Some books may pass from your memory but others remain in your heart and the characters grow on with you throughout the years and that is what the Tintin books remain for me.

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 :)

Tintin becomes the first person to set foot on the moon in a stunning array of awe-inspiring drawings, but peril awaits!
July 13, 2009
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 have come along, too.). But here the dynamic between these characters is still fresh and surprising, yet dependably hilarious. Absent-minded professor Cuthbert Calculus is in a rare competent form, thanks in part to a new hearing aid, yet is amusingly high-strung due to the pressures of the expedition.
The story is of course dated, but Herge's wry, austere drawings truly come alive in their depiction of the moon and the majesty of space.

This was one of my favorite episodes of the series!!
It has a lot of dramatic twists in the plot!! If any one wud like to make a film - I would suggest this and its prequel for filming!!
There is a scope for few scientific facts and children can grasp easier than learning in a class!! I appreciate the author for providing space for those also in this part!!

Very good! This second part of Tintin's adventure on the Moon is hilarious with the proverbial Captain Haddock always grumbling about one thing or another and Tournesol still quite to the point as a scientist... In fact, for the first in these two books he is listening to what people tell him, he is using an ear device!

Not my favorite Tintin book, but, as always with Herge's comics, it's amazing - funny and adventurous. The idea of being stuck in space scares me, which is probably why I didn't enjoy it so much. ;)

Another great Tintin book, exciting and often suspenseful :-) And the rocket and method of space travel were very detailed.

The Tintin stories for anyone who has read them and understands their history can't be viewed as anything other than groundbreaking. The beginnings of these stories have been around as long as the Lord of the Rings, the illustration and environments in the Tintin books are accurate and extremely detailed. Anyone who has spent even a little time exploring Herge (Georges Remi) can see the painstaking research and adversity he worked through to compose the world around Tintin. His ideas were ahead of his time (Exploring the moon, Industrialization, South American political conflict, modern slave trade, extraterrestrial life) and he made certain every detail for every object would be realistic (after the third book at least). Herge's work can certainly be cited as an influence for any modern day graphic novel or comic book.

Favourite moment: Tintin letting Haddock have it when he gets drunk on stowaway whisky and endangers the mission to the moon by leaving the spaceship to "go home to Marlinspike" - and almost becoming a satellite of the Adonis asteroid. Tintin rarely gets angry, so that was a surprise upon rereading.
Amazing visuals in this one, the starkness of the moonscape, the vast inky blackness stretching between earth and the moon, and the fun effect of less gravity.
I remember reading the ending as a kid with my heart in my mouth wondering if they'd arrive back on earth alive or dead, due to the ratio of oxygen to the (unexpected) number of people aboard. Fun times.

42 WORD REVIEW:
An extraordinary achievement, constituting both a prescient (ie. well-researched and well-reasoned) foretelling of a genuine moon landing, and a tour de force of Tintin staples: Boy’s Own action and comic misadventure. Unlike other volumes, this one is genuinely tense. Nail-biting yet funny!

Buaaaaaa, el drama, la TENSIÓN. La aventura más peligrosa hasta el momento. Y ese misterio que se va formando y que cuando se desvela no me esperaba para nada, buenísimo.
Pedazo planos de la luna. Y molan mucho las escenas en las cuevas.
Pero por favor, no más bocadillos kilométricos con explicaciones al final. Por favor. De verdad que no quiero saltármelos jajaja
