Tintin is aboard the first rocket to the moon! En route, a disgruntled Captain Haddock embarks upon an impromptu spacewalk, and the crew narrowly miss an exploding meteorite! But with declining oxygen supplies and an unwelcome cargo discovered in the hold, how will they ever return to the earth?

Explorers on the Moon

The world’s most famous travelling reporter flies out to Khemed to investigate a case of arms smuggling and the involvement of an old friend. There’s a rebellion in Khemed and the Emir’s life is in danger! He has entrusted his mischievous son to Captain Haddock’s care, but when an old friend of Tintin’s is caught smuggling arms to the Khemed rebels, they must jump straight on a plane to find out what on earth is going on . . . Join the most iconic character in comics as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure spanning historical and political events, and thrilling mysteries. Still selling over 100,000 copies every year in the UK and having been adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson in 2011. The Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 80 years after they first found their way into publication. Since then an estimated 230 million copies have been sold, proving that comic books have the same power to entertain children and adults in the 21st century as they did in the early 20th.
