Description from the seller
Original exceptional board – Hergé, The Moon Mission (Destination Moon) (page 9)
Original board from the famous adventure The Moon Mission (The Adventures of Tintin), dated May 4, 1950 on the back by stamp. This unique piece, measuring 27.6 cm x 21.2 cm, is a rare witness to Hergé's creative process.
Features:
Unpublished textual variants: The speech bubbles in panels 4 and 7 differ from the final published version.
Panel 4: “Eh oui!... Four years ago, we discovered rich uranium deposits in the mountain range [...], captain?...”
(with a slightly modified wording in the definitive edition).
Panel 7: “I was intelligently supported by engineer Frank Wolff [...] and I have just finished the plans [...] to go TO THE MOON... ”
(the final version uses “I was intelligently supported by engineer Frank Wolff [...] and I am in the process of finishing [...] to go TO THE MOON...”).
Stamp and date on the back attest to its origin and its age.
A highly sought-after collectible piece, Destination Moon being one of Tintin's most emblematic adventures.
Why is this board unique?
It offers a fascinating glimpse into the narrative adjustments made by Hergé before publication, and it is an exceptional collector’s item for art and comics enthusiasts.
