Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2019
- Destination Moon (1953) and Explorers on the Moon (1954) are two fan-favourite Tintin adventures (or one two-part adventure), and this new two-in-one hardcover edition from Egmont celebrates the 50th anniversary of the moon landing (the one by Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins). Here's a quick look at this new English language edition that contains no special features or extras, but may still be special for some.

Destination Moon is my first tintin book. My mom was reading it for me when I was three. That is why the moon adventures have been very special to me.
I think the number of people who cite one or both of the Moon books as their favourite are exceeded only by those who say Unicorn, in my experience!
Why is tintin so good....it just gives a warm feeling to the heart...my favourite book is the calculus affair and i just love Haddock because of his attitude and alliterations.
Have you caught this video of mine - Which is the best Tintin? ua-cam.com/video/yCDBxyIxO9M/v-deo.html
Captain Haddock is my favourite character too!
My favorite Tin Tin is “The Shooting Star.” While I haven’t read a lot of Tin Tin, only 2 stories, I fell in love with them instantly. They have a quality that makes me feel like a 12 year old when I read them and the great race aspect of shooting star further drove that feeling. I can’t wait to read the moon stories.
The Shooting Star is another one of those that doesn't get enough love. I , too, love the race aspect of it, but also the really dark start of the story, which (as you will find out) is not really typical. I am sure you will enjoy all the other adventures as well and I wish you luck!

Thank you so much - this is so great to hear and I hope you continue to enjoy both thi channel as well as your new hobby!
i love shooting star so much that i cant express in words if anyone says me tha t i have to read only single book for limetime shooting star would be my first and last option..... i want to literally give an oscar to the writer 💚🤤😍😍😍😍
@For the Love of Comics what about MY luck?
What happens to that?
I just purchased Tintin On The Moon. I started reading Tintin since I was 6. Destination Moon is the second book I read, and I absolutely loved it. I immediately bought Explorers On The Moon shortly after. These two books are why I decided to become an astronomer. 15 years later, I am one year away from graduating with degrees in physics and astrophysics.
Herge had impeccable imagination to write a book like this before the first satellite was launched!
What a lovely personal story, truly inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing 😀!
My favourite tintin is the black island.
My favorite Tintin comic is "Explorers on the Moon". I was little when I saw the moon landing with all others alive on planet Earth at the time. I became a science major in college and taught science... a subject dear to me.
That's beautiful
My favourite Tintin book is King Ottakar's Spectre.
I love it and not enough people praise it, in my opinion!
My favorite is also King Ottokar's Scepter! A fine, complex story.
My favourite one is the crab with the golden claws!
Thank you for this! When I am done narrating Explorers on the Moon, I will then make an additional video-book with both of them combined! :) I need to buy this version too...
My favourite Tintin book is Tintin in America. It was a gift from my mother. I didn't like it at first, because I was used to the more direct and slapstick comedy of Lucky Luke (and asterix), so I couldn't help but compare the two with a slight bias to the more familiar lonely cowboy. Luckily as I grew up it also grew on me along with the other tintin stories.
Congratulations on your 2K subs. Excellent video as always.
Thank you! And what a cool insight into coming into Tintin in America from the POV of Lucky Luke! I read America after many other Tintins, so I couldn't quite attach myself to the older, looser art style or the more rambling story at first. Although I ALWAYS loved the western stuff in it, and the machine that turned cows into sausages!
@@ftloc I was in a sort of similar position. At times it got really boring for me and felt like it dragged on forever, especially compared to other comic books like lycky, asterix and disney's duck books, but there was always that endearing charm that had me coming back to it every so often. Though, I never really saw it as a western. It had clear depictions of modern cities/clothes/vehicles and the natives' lands transformed into buildings and banks within hours, so the cowboy dress up and the chase in the wild west felt more like an act. Not genuine like in Lycku Luke. That really put me off at first, but now that I now a bit more about history and have grown as a person it makes more sense and I can finally truly appreciate the story.
My favourite Tintin comic is - Cigars of the Pharaoh
Really?, Pharaoh is one of my least. Faves its so damn borring
@@davidbanan. yes its really boring😐
@@davidbanan. i have read 16 books
The Tintin I'm most interested in is actually Explorers on the Moon! I'm a huge fan of space exploration and the Apollo moon missions in particular. First Man and the Apollo 11 documentary made 2019 a great space year in cinema! I've been meaning to read Tintin for a while - it's a revered classic. Oddly enough I never even read any as a kid, though I was a big fan of Asterix before I really knew what comics were. Great video as always!
Thank you! And 'before I really knew what comics were' is such a great way to put it. I do believe that when I started reading Tintin, I didn't quite realise they were 'drawn' by someone. I don;t know what I thought, that they just spontaneously appeared or something?
the story has its dark moments, too ... i remember it fondly.
bye from France :)
Oh definitely, especially in the return!
I love the blue lotas
My favorite Tintin comic is Cigars of the Pharoah. It was the first video i ever saw from the tv series and i love the story.
Loved the secret giveaway idea. Sorry to have missed out on this. This channel is so fantastic.
Thank you so much; I hope you continue to enjoy the channel for a long time to come. And I'd always want to do more giveaways, but I have to figure out logistics like shipping etc, which makes everything a pain!
My favoueite Tintin comic is Secret of the Unicorn.
Congrats on 2k subscribers!! I became a member of this community when it had around 300 subscribers.. The channel has come a long way since then😃
Thank you for your support and encouragement - it's a crucial part of our growth and development! 😁
My favourite Tintin comic is Tintin in Tibet. I first read Tintin thanks to my grandfather who gifted me his complete original Tintin collection (in French) when I was about 9 or 10 years old. It's only now that I realise how valuable this is!
Oh wow, that's lovely. DO share a picture of the collection if you can; I'd love to see that!
@@ftloc I wish I could but I live halfway across the world from my home country nowadays. I'll try to do that next time I fly back home 😉
‘Destination moon’ was the first comic I ever read, having had my dad read it to me at the age of 3 or 4 so as a result, it will always have a special place in my heart. I could never decide whether or not I enjoyed it more than the culturally rich and factually heavy ‘the Blue Lotus’ though 🤔
Congratulations on 2,000 subs. The momentum this channel is growing with does not surprise me though; it’s very well deserved! Been here since under 40 subs and not leaving anytime soon.
Perhaps we will see an “about me” extended “storytime” video about me introducing you and your wife to the viewers on a more personal level soon as a way of celebration? 😀 storytime episode or not, more power to you as always, Sir.
Additionally, any plans for the old intro to make a return? 😋 been a while since we’ve seen it
My favorite top two tintin books
Congratulations on 2k subs! That 5k mark is just on the horizon.
It's all thanks to the kind of support and encouragement provided by folks like yourself!
My favourite Tintin comics is Tintin and the Picaros ,
Btw didn't like the cover (On the Moon) because this is the first time where Snowy is missing on front cover
Wow, what a terrific observation! Snowy has indeed never been missing from a Tintin cover before this (in English, as far as I can see). Comment of the day!
@@ftloc 💌
@For the Love of Comics I think Snowy is there in the cover of the Picaros right in front Tintin's foot... it could be Alph Art 😊😊
@@das0jyotirban I think they were referring to this 2-in-1 Moon Edition cover as the first to not feature Snowy.
And yes, Alph Art I saw could be the other one, but it's an unfinished book with a sketch of a cover so I'm OK not counting it! 😁

My favorite Tintin is : Tintin in the Picaros.
The Tintin I’m wanting to read is the Black Island. I’ve never read Tintin, but grew up watching the cartoon. Your channel has made me want to dive into Tintin stories and even read them with my son.
Oh I am sure both of you would love it! Do let me know how it goes (for both of you) if you do try it!
For the Love of Comics yea! I’ve started reading Bone with him and he loves it!
Fantastic !!! I adore these two Tintin books 📚
So glad you enjoyed the video! Check out my various other Tintin videos if you get a chance; I love getting Tintin fans' opinions on them!
My favourite Tintin is the Shooting Star. What I mainly remember, years after reading it, is the dreamlike quality of the opening sequence, before the adventure itself gets underway.
The start of that book is one of my favourites! It does feel a bit dreamlike, compounded by the nightmare Tintin himself has. The end is nigh is a great way to start, and sets up the rest of the story really well, in my opinion!
My favourite Tintin is Flight 714 and Tintin and the Picaros. Congrats on 2K.
Thank you so much, and I'm always happy to meet another Picaros fan - one that's quite unfairly criticized in my opinion.
My favorite Tintin comic is The Calculus Affair!
Thank you for all of the thought and effort that you put into all of your videos. This is my favorite comics channel by far - you have such depth and breadth in your content, all done in such a friendly and welcoming way. Congrats on 2k subscribers! 🎉🎊
Thank you so very much, and I hoipe you continue to enjoy this channel and our videos as much as we enjoy making them!
The tintin i most interested in is "Red Rackham's Treasure" i always judge a book by it cover, and it looks awesome.
Congratulations for the 2k subscribers, well deserved.
You got me into comics with your catching enthusiasm while keeping your explanations so articulated.
Thanks!!!
My favorite TinTin is The Black Island. Because it was my first experiance of TinTin at 10 years old.
My favourite Tintin is Destination Moon, of course! And Explorers on the Moon. These were the first I read, and although I eventually read them all, these are the closest to me.
Great presentation, thanks from Spain
So glad you enjoyed it! Welcome to the channel and hope you find lots to enjoy here! 😊
@@ftloc I'll be catching up on your earlier videos L.o.C., your enthusiasm for the subject is a an inspiration, your presentation style engaging and any friend of Tintin is a friend of mine! I have learned much...
My favourite Tintin comic is Tintin in Tibet.
And what a beauty it is
My favourite Tintin is Prisoners of the Sun as I really loved antics of Captain Haddock and also the fact that it involved the carried forward suspense of The Seven Crystal Balls!
Ah yes, when Haddock met a llama...😀
My favorite Tintin is: Explorers on the Moon (1954)
Good choice! Have you read them all? Which is your second favourite? 😁
That looks like a great book, hopefully they may bring out the other 2 parters as one book. Congratulations on subs! A testament to well a presented, well produced detailed channel.
My favourite Tintin is The Crab with the Golden Claws for the introduction of Captain Haddock.
How the influence of Tintin would change him over the years from that guy! 😁
Billions of blue blistering barnacles!
Congratulations for reaching 4k subscribers. Well, I am a new subscriber. I always been a fan of Tintin adventures. I still remember how I collect my pocket money as a kid to buy Tintin comics ( paperback editions ) even they are too expensive for me. But I managed to collect few of them over the years. Good memories. What really bugs me was why they made this incredible story as two books instead of one book. Because I always wanted to chose a favourite book among all the books. The moon story was my favourite. So I am gald to see this story is now published as an one book in this special edition. I really enjoyed your videos so far . Keep it up . I enjoyed the Watchmen videos as well.
If I never read Tintin when I was young, I may not be reading comics today! 😁
So glad you're enjoying the channel, and I hope you find plenty more to like here! Cheers!
My favourite Tintin story would have to be Tintin in Tibet. In it, we see Captain Haddock at his finest, his most noble, as well as some great moments from Tintin the others. The settings is also wonderful, as well as melancholy, especially as viewed from a modern perspective.
An absolute classic!
This was my first tintin book
A good one to get you hooked!
@@ftloc thanks i yesterday just bought bone 1
My favourite Tintin comic is definitely Cigars of the Pharoah, because it was scary, surreal, mysterious, atmospheric and fantastical with 'symbolism, psychosis and death' as subjects playing parts on my young mind when I first read and then subsequently watched it on TV, making me believe this is not just an ordinary cartoon I'd watched or read till now...which really got me hooked into Tintin! (and maybe I have a special place in my heart for this title because never had I ever saw my India depicted in this form of media, i.e. cartoons and comics).
Tintin and Haddock's little tour of Delhi in Tintin in Tibet made me so happy as a kid!
My favourite Tintin Comic is The Blue Lotus
The Tintin I am most interested in is "Tintin in Tibet"
Congrats on 2k
I just pulled "Preludes & Nocturnes" from the shelf, and I'm ready to give Gaiman's series another try
Thank you! And that's great to hear about Preludes and Nocturnes - I am guessing you will be reading along with us?
My favourite Tintin comic is Tintin and The Picaros (as we've already discussed earlier)
Also, seeing the Calculus vs Haddock chase just made my day. ;)
'Why are you running?' WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?'
My favourite is Tintin in Tibet. It was my first Tintin and it was a random present on my 7th birthday. I collected all 23 as I was growing up. But first one left charming impression.
PS. I read it in Bengali. It is an awesome translation. Yes I re-read it in English much later.
PS2. A random video idea: The success of various Tintin translations' success and failure. Thanks in advance.
Thanks so much and Tibet is really a terrific story, isn't it? I made a Personal Top 6 Tintin list video a long time ago, in case you're interested!
And that is a very impressive idea for a video but I fear it may be way out of my league. I am not really a researcher or scholar in any way, just a reader with a limited range! 😁
My favorite Tintin is Flight 714 to Sydney, because I like the way Tintin and his friends are trapped on an island and have to find their way off it.
Congrats on 2k :D
Thank you! And I've always had a real soft sport for 714, especially Carriedas! 😁
OMG! How did I not know about the giant facsimiles until today?! Equally baffling, why has the publisher not come up with more volumes? The Moon story and the Inca story double-volumes will lend themselves excellently to this format. I am drooling at the mere thought :-)
The Tintin I'm most interested in is The Calculus Affair - I love a good spy/espionage story!
The Tintin I’m most interested in is “The secret of the unicorn.” Thank you!
My favourite tintin is king ottokar’s sceptre, simply because it is the first I read. I was 11 or 12 years old and I saw it at my local library so i picked it up. Whilst it was the first tintin book I read, I had already watched the animated series from the 90’s and rather enjoyed it. So I decided to see what the comics are like.
The Calculus affair has a special place in my heart, because the Cold War and the spy world is just so fascinating to me.
Me too! Have you caught my "Top 6 Tintins" video?
ua-cam.com/video/yCDBxyIxO9M/v-deo.html 😁
I've just ordered this edition based on your video! To be honest these are maybe my two least favourite Tintin adventures as I'm not interested in space and I also feel that Explorers on the Moon is a bit too dark as a result of Frank Wolff's fate. But it seems like a lovely edition and will fit nicely into my collection! 😊
I have to say that I felt the same way when I was younger - in particular Explorers didn't seem to have the charm of the other stories (although at the time I think I failed to see the darkness in Wolf's decision, even at that age I think the redemption sacrifice was a thing I had seen used in movies liberally.) But I have grown to really love the designs and artwork specifically, and Calculus' apoplectic fury is one of the memorable sequences of the series for me now 😁
Ah, Tintin. My favorite has to be Prisoners of The Sun. Absolutely amazing stories. Memories of me reading this and loving them. I also urge you to also cover Jo, Zette and Jocko and the valley of cobras. very close to Tintin and perhaps for a more younger reader.
I have a bunch of Tintin videos because that is such a formative and favourite series of comics for me too! I talk about my favourites in an older video, but honestly they're all such wonderful books.
I've read the Valley of the Cobras when I was young, but that (or any other Jo, Zette and Jocko books) seem to be very hard to get one's hands on these days, for some reason. Very aggravating!
My favorite Tintin is Blue Lotus. Congrats on 2k!
Thank you! The Blue Lotus was published by Methuen much later than the others, so I actually read it *after* I read Tintin in Tibet as a child! 😁
my favorite tintin comic is the secret of the unicorn
Fan favourite - and with very good reason!
The Tintin I am most interested is... The series of Tintin on the moon. Not because I want to win the giveaway. But after the recent expedition of Chandrayaan 2 of India, I am quite intrigued to read how Herge portrayed the journey to Moon, even before someone did it in reality.
It''s a great ride, very cleverly alternating between high drama and small time domestic hi-jinks. It doesn't shortchange you on the length of the journey itself either. As i mentioned in the video, the fact that it still holds up is really something remarkable. Also, if you are interested in primitive space exploration stories and don;t mind having your heart broken into thousands of pieces, I highly recommend Laika, about the first dog in space.
My favorite Tintin book is The Black Island.
My favourite Tintin book is flight 714 tintin to sydney
tintin and the shooting star is my favourite book
My favourite tintin book is Tintin and seven crystal balls
The Tintin I'm most interested in is destination moon/explorers on the moon. I love all things space so this sounds great. I just recently finished the graphic novel Moonbound by Jonathan Fetter-Vorm which was a great read about Apollo 11.
I have Moonbound on my wishlist and need to get to it - I've heard nothing but good things!
I saw the book yesterday in a book store i went, got some lucky luke comics pretty cheap and also got Neil Gaiman's graveyard book in graphic novel format.
Coming to the topic, the moon adventures aren't my favorites although i enjoy them. My brother loves them though.
I really love explorers on the moon. I love the art details in destination moon but there is a lot of text involved which can be boring if you are not in the mood to hear scientific lectures.
It helps when Calculus flies off the handle, but even when there's a pageload of explanation going on, my wife recently pointed out how Haddock is always commenting away with things like 'Yes, yes I was very concerned about that too...', almost representing the everyday reader in his being lost. So comedy gold is mined from there too, which I think is a very imitated technique nowadays.
For the Love of Comics probably need to take another look then. If there's a satire, i have surely missed it.
Also, you had 22 of 24 books, did you get the land of the Soviets and alph art?
Video request: take us comic shopping! :) :)
Haha, I usually shop online these days, but have you caught the recent 'vloggy' videos I did on holiday? There's this one:

My Favourite Tintin Comics is : 'Red Rackham's Treasure'. This particular adventure has mix of both adventure and humour at its best, at least I personally think so.
And I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate you for touching 2K milestone. It's an absolute pleasure to see my most favourite comics review channel to reach that height, I wish you a grand success in future. Happy Reading... :)
Thank you so much; this kind of support and encouragement means the world to me! 😁
Great vid
Thank you!
My favourite Tintin comics is Tintin and the calculus affair and Tintin and the Picaros. Tintin and the Picaros was also my first tintin comics. (yes I was young and naive enough to start from the end!)
I too read the books in all kinds of chaotic sequence. As I just commented elsewhere, I read Tintin in Tibet before The Blue Lotus, and Calculus Affair before the Secret of the Unicorn, and no permanent damage done! 😁
Two sides of the Moon!!
"The light...and the dark"
My favorite tintin is either blue lotus or seven crystal balls!
congrats on 2k subs.

Cheers!
@@ftloc I have got all the Tintin comics and asterix dated from school days 1983 onwards so it’s a treasure that I still have them in good nic! they never grow old, just brings back the school life out of me whenever I read them. Good to know I am not the only one with that feeling!
The best edition I love to read , pg nos approx 100- 140 , mid hardcover length 26 cms , great job Egmont, next to do is unicorn and Rackham
Similarly, I wish they had made 'Giant' editions of these two the way we have Unicorn and Rackham, but I guess that was Little Brown, not Egmont.
My favorite Tintin comic is 'Tintin et les 7 boules de cristal'
My favourite Tintin comic is the 'THE BROKEN EAR' it is considered by most readers as one of the most boring adventures. However I love that book for its elements of politics, fiction and mystery.
It is so far the only comic of Tintin which has a full fledged detective aspect, it is phenomenal
You're right - it doesn't get mentioned that often, but it does have a solid bit of detective mystery driving it, doesn't it?
@@ftloc so true it is also the best Tintin and snowy solo adventure
My favorite TINTIN is: Flight 714 to Sydney.
The original version was published between 1950 and 1953 in the Tintin Journal. That was 117 pages long. This is the edited version (like all the ones we read)
I believe every single adventure was originally serialised in some journal or the other before being published in album form, and they usually saw some tweaks for pacing and readability when compiled, right?!
@@ftloc - True for all of the earlier ones that Herge had drawn himself because the artwork was crude and the stories themselves did not stand the test of time (prime example - Tintin in Congo/Russia) . E.P.Jacobs and Jacques Van Melkebeke kind of defined the style we are now mostly familiar with which was later continued by Herge Studio stalwart Bob de Moor, Roger Leloup, Jacques Martin and the amazing Josette Baujot (colourist).
@@ftloc - Fanny Vlamynck is of course the most infaamous colourist and future wife and heir to the Herge foundation
My favorite Tintin book is the "the red lotus" I love real life on comics
That's a classic!
I recently found that there was also an earlier Magnet edition that similarly collected the two moon books.
Do you mean the 'Making of...' book. "Mission to the Moon"? I've only seen it online, but there were four such books and I have a video on one of them (The Blue Lotus + Cigars of the Pharaoh) here: ua-cam.com/video/N2_gM8FZoug/v-deo.html if interested! Cheers!
@@ftloc No, not the "Making of" one. Just a simple one collecting the two moon stories with no extras. The cover has the blueprint of the rocket plans.
PS - I've seen the video you've linked above. I don't miss any of your Tintin videos! :D
My favourite tintin is cigar of the pharaohs.
I wonder what avid Tintin fans think of the 1950's movie DESTINATION MOON which fairly obviously was an inspiration for these 2 Herge books? (I book them myself way back in the early 60's as an addition to my film-related files and very much enjoyed them.They were my first exposure to Tintin in the US, though, even as a very young kid I had always been at least dimly aware of his existence. Our American equivalent to those books were the Carl Barks tales of Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck and his nephews going on outrageous adventures.)
Aha, I didn't know of that movie but will definitely look it up now! Herge drew inspiration from a lot of sources, but I wish this edition had some extras or historical information about these particular stories.
And yes, the Barks Duck stories, with their globe-trotting adventures that sometimes incorporated the science fictional or the supernatural, definitely mirror the adventures of Tintin; they both have that vibe that the Indiana Jones movies also tapped into!
@@ftloc The movie DESTINATION MOON is generally available on YT, if you care to check it out. It's not nearly as much fun as the Tintin books, but it was a very influential film at the time that (along with a smaller film called ROCKETSHIP X-M) really launched---kind of a pun there----the whole giant sci-fi movie craze of the 50's. It was considered very accurate for its time, and had major input from scientists and rocket engineers throughout its production. But, it is kinda "dry", and could've used some of the Herge charm!
What is the best version of tin tin complete works ?
My favourite Tintin comic is the secret of unicorn
Hello, do you know if this special edition has the same fonts as the old edition? or is it the new updated font, thank you
Unfortunately, the hand lettering by Hyslop is NOT used any more, including in this edition. There's apparently some copyright or ownership issues with it?
I still hold out hope that it will return one day though!
i read Adventures of Tintin 16 years back in my school library when i was in 9th class. i remember the mushroom story and some story underwater with Tintin inside a underwater vehicle, those books where hard cover and had color pictures, where can i find those books, i want to buy the full set read it and donate it to a library, can you please tell me where can i buy the full set in India.
There's no box for the full sized hardcovers but they are all available individually on Amazon India and Flipkart the last I checked. Good luck, it's a terrific collection to have!
Love the TIntin vids. I know you've done some comparison vids but what about one dedicated to things like the change in font from the modern Edgemont editions to the previous editions that used the Hyslop font. Or even things like the change in paper quality/colouring etc. Cheers.🤗
I'd love to but I often wonder how many others would actually be interested in watching a video on that. This is already so niche and tiny a channel! 😁
@@ftloc I think us Tintin fans would love it personally. Why not incorporate it as part of your next Tintin vid? Just a thought. 🤔
Great idea, I'll put a small section on the font into the next edition comparison I do! Thank you!
My Favourite Tintin is The Blue Lotus
The Tintin I’m most interested in is The Calculus Affair
My favorite tin tinstory book is tin tin in congo
How interesting! What are the things that make it your favourite?
Just ordered this edition for myself yesterday, it seemed too good not to have!
Calculus' "WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?" cracked me up. I've never seen a version with that line, is that from the newer editions?
I wondered if it is a doctored panel myself. It has always been 'I demand an apology!' in the editions I have seen, but this seemed too funny not to use, even if (slightly) inaccurate! 😁
from where do you get these editions?
These were easily available in bookstores and online portals like Amazon, and still are, the last I checked. Where are you located?
"theres no special introduction" me a swedish person aware of the fact that all swedish tintin album/books have a special introduciton talking about how the inspiration, reception or any other facts about it, beyond that the only issue i think with this edition is the fact that there isn't a cover page, like a page with the cover and then the title page
I agree, they could have done some notes for this occasion. As for the covers, I think they wanted it to come across as a single story, not two parts, but they could have put the covers in at the end, the way some collected editions of comics do.
My favorite tintin is secret of the unicorn
I got this one
Do you like it?
For the Love of Comics yeah I like the drawings and the story and the cover so Ye
I know is off-topic, but I just read the new Jason book, "O Josephine" and besides being in love with it, I was wondering if you will do a review any time soon or will comment something about it.
I definitely will! I read it a couple of months ago and loved it too!
I just subscribed. I thought I had already done that, but....guess i just forgot.
Welcome 'back'! 😁
I shudder to think of how many different editions of Tintin you must own...
Not too many really. Old paperbacks from my childhood and new hardcover upgrades for the most. All the boxsets I reviewed were on loan, and otherwise I just have 6 Facsimile editions. Oh and that small box set of 9 black and whites.
I guess that's a fair number of editions for the first nine books, perhaps, but I actually have comics that I have more editions of...it's ridiculous.
I just watch your videos to listen to your accent
Haha thank you, but I must warn you that I mispronounce things all the time! 😋

So who won the giveaway? Just curious :)
There was a small surprise/twist, announced here: ua-cam.com/video/7vXQGUUuvdA/v-deo.html!
I'm a huge Tintin fan, but I don't see the point of this book. The only advantage is a tiny shelf space gain, but you loose the art of the two classic covers. The "new" cover isn't even new as it is just a blowup image fom the story. They should have added (at the very least) some background dossier with sketches, references photos and anectdotes that comes in many french language of classic reprints these days. This is just a cheap way to cash in on the many Tintin completists collectors.
Yeah, losing the cover art is a real pity! Especially since those two are the only two in the entire series that create a sense of continuity with the rocket in both, which goes with 'Moon' to clearly convey it's a two-parter. Still, so many prose books get so many different editions for all kinds of nonsensical reasons, why begrudge a comic that's gotten popular enough to hang with the prose bestsellers a bit of excess, eh? 😁
are you on goodreads???????
I briefly considered it, but I started a UA-cam channel instead!😁
