Today in Comics History, June 3, 9:45 PM: Already there are screw-ups...on the Moon!

Hey, how's this voyage goin', Professor?


from Tintin v.14: Explorers on the Moon (Little Brown, September 1976), script, pencils, and inks by Hergé; translation by Leslie Lonsdale-Cooper and Michael Turner



We aren't told what exact time it takes place on, but sometime during the day of June 3, Tintin's rocket reaches its...Destination Moon! No, wait, that was the previous album.




Who's the first man on the Moon? Why, take a guess!:


Yes! The moon rocket to the moon has moon-landed! On the moon! It only took a little more than twelve hours to travel there thanks to Professor Calculus's remarkable calculations (where was he for NASA?) and now the manifest destiny exploration of the moon begins! On the moon! And here's where the 9:45 PM time in the post title comes from.


Grab some'a that yummy moon cheese for me, guys!
