Published in 1954, this book is the direct sequel to “Objectif Lune” (Destination Moon) and continues Tintin’s groundbreaking journey into space.

In “On a marché sur la Lune,” Tintin, his loyal dog Snowy, Captain Haddock, and Professor Calculus embark on a historic mission to the Moon aboard the specially constructed rocket. The narrative is filled with suspense and excitement as they navigate the perils of space travel, including technical malfunctions, treacherous terrain, and unforeseen dangers.

Hergé’s meticulous attention to detail and thorough research are evident in the realistic depiction of the lunar landscape and the scientific challenges faced by the crew. The story captures the imagination with its blend of scientific accuracy and adventurous spirit, making it a landmark entry in the Tintin series.
