Heroes in the moon

Comic strip has many sagas that have experienced longevity that exceeds understanding. Of Dragon Ball At the superheroes Marvel, passing by Asterix, there is no shortage of examples. In view of the current, particularly gloomy climate, we wanted to escape and we offer below a small panorama of the heroes sent to space by their authors. And to corp the thing, no science fiction comics will appear in the article, we will today be interested in characters from our beautiful blue planet.

Heroes in the moon.

Tintin

24 albums in almost 50 years of career, a series animated by legend, an adaptation to the cinema by Steven Spielberg, dozens of countries crossed and characters known to all, Tintin is undoubtedly none the flagship of Belgian Franco BD. Between 1950 and 1953, Hergé, author of the adventures of our journalist at La Houppette, will work on a diptych in space: Moon objective/We walked on the Moon. We are almost 20 years before Apollo 11 (1969), it was at the time a science fiction comic. Today, not to be plastically superb, this double album is improved over time.

Smurfs

We are in 1967 and Peyo decides, for his saga "the Smurfs", to speak of the dream of space. To do this, he will tell the story of a false space flight, of an intoxication created by the whole village to satisfy the dream of one of its inhabitants. Resonant quite finely with the current conspiracy climate, it is undoubtedly one of the best albums in the franchise.

Snoopy

Snoopy, the famous dog created by Schulz has been associated with NASA since the 1960s. Let us quote the "Silver Snoopy Award", a medal for NASA workers, the fact that the only lunar module still in solar orbit is called Snoopy or that Schulz's drawings have been used to calibrate the colors of Apollo 10 cameras And space is a love story that lasts.

Stars Lanfeust

Saga of heroic fantasy made in France, Lanfeust de Troy will know, after 8 volumes, a sequel taking place this time in space. Skilled mix between traditional heroic fantasy and punctures of science fiction, it is a daring but successful bet.

Spirou

52nd album of the adventures of Spirou and Fantasio, and second album of the duo Vehlmann/Yoann, "The hidden face of the Z" brings the favorite villain of the fans of the saga: Zorglub. Compulsive megalomaniac, this latter this time beat a luxury residence on the moon, unless it is just a facade for a new Machiavellian plan ...

Cape and fangs

Combining comics, novel, theater and cinema, "Cape and Crocs" is a classic of the last twenty years. And since from the sixth volume, our group, made up of a fox, a wolf and a rabbit, arrived on the moon, it would have been a shame not to quote it.
