Explorers on the Moon (The Adventures of Tintin)

Great book for Tin Tin collectors.

characters are from a Serbian point of view. But my Grandson loves this book!!!

I'm not planning on writing a review for every Tintin book I read, but I'll make an exception for this one.This book appears to be in the original format, based on the editions I read read in the '70s, with the original hand-written font (I believe). Definitely not the reduced size, computer-generated font of the multi-edition series with the modern covers.This is the 3rd Tintin I've purchased, for my soon-to-be five year old son. I gave much thought to the first one (Tintin in America), due to stereotypes / racial content, as well as lots of gun play and near death scenarios, and ultimately decided this was a "safe" way to introduce such content on my terms, versus cartoons and movies, which he isn't watching yet.So I write this review only as a caution to parents -- this is the first Tintin that Herge kills off a couple of characters. One is a bad guy who is shot, the other a "redeemed" character who sacrifices his own life. Those two scenes, within pages of each other, give my budding reader more pause than any of the near death situations Tintin and the Captain faced in any of the stories so far.Nightmare material? Possibly. But definitely points for discussion -- and this coming from a boy who is quite comfortable with the concept.So again, not a complaint of this awesome series (which, afterall, is intended for older readers and adults), but just a fair warning to parents."Earth calling Moon Rocket, come in Moon Rocket..."

pop ups are relatively simple but cute! If you are looking for Robert Sabuda or Mathew Reinhart style of pop-up books you might be disappointed. But if you are an old Tin-Tin + pop-up book fan, you'd find this book cute. I like the movable parts more than the pop-ups ones. The way the author illustrated drunk captain seeing 4 Thomson and Thompson is amusing and brilliant!

What can you say its a classic. A simple but also an adventurous read. I read it when I was young and now my kids are reading it. Its at least the right comic book to read when the kids are young, especially when the comics these days when comic books represent to much violence, vulgarity and to much fiction, and yet only have action in them and nothing to fascinate the kids minds. These books are all against that and just plain yet clearly a novel type read.Since this came out way before man actually made it on the moon can show how authors used to imagine the world to be. Also, there being comedy, some serious mysteries and situations, this makes it the perfect book.

Another great Tintin escapade

This was a gift for our grandson who sat down and read it cover to cover and then drew pictures of TinTin's adventures. He is 7 years old. It was a great hit.

I grew up reading the adventures of Tintin. I love them now as much as I did when I was a kid. They are timeless.
