"Explorers on the Moon (French: On a marché sur la Lune) is the seventeenth of The Adventures of Tintin, " — Seventeenth what?
Volume! I have no idea how I missed that. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:13, 24 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
"who are aboard a manner rocket mission to the moon." — Do you mean "manned rocket"? Sounds better than "manner rocket", which might make the reader feel that the rocket lacks mannerisms! LOL.
"of the story. The story was" — Avoid repetition of story.
I've gone with "volume" here although would be up for any alternative suggestions. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:13, 24 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Synopsis
"disrupting the artificial gravity and sending everyone floating" — Wikilinks for "artificial gravity" and "floating" could be better for those readers who are not wholly aware of the two terms. For clarity's sake.
Good point! I've added a link to the former although could not find an appropriate link for "floating". Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:13, 24 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Found the link for 'floating' myself. — Ssven2Speak 2 me 03:13, 25 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
A simpler word for "fissure" would be good as the word seems a tad complicated. Maybe chasm?
I've gone with chasm, although I think that it is probably on a similar level to fissure. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:13, 24 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Actually, chasm is a synonym of fissure, which sounded more scientific and some readers might not understand it well. — Ssven2Speak 2 me 03:13, 25 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
History
"Publishers were unhappy" — Who? Casterman or Turner and Cooper?
That would be Casterman. I've changed it. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:13, 24 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thats about it from me. Once again, great job, Midnightblueowl. Do ping me when you have resolved the comments. — Ssven2Speak 2 me 12:24, 24 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

How come we have a GA on this book which doesn't even mentionBob de Moor? Seems like a serious oversight. Destination Moon (comics), also a GA, does mention him (the fact that he got hired), but again nothing further. According to Pierre Assouline, De Moor already played a "pivotal role" in Destination Moon (backgorunds, and the rocket!)[1], and we all know how much the Moon landscapes by De Moor were essential in the look of the "Explorers" story. The De Moor biography has more information[2]. Fram (talk) 08:26, 5 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
