Tintin, (Fictitious character); Tintin, (Fictitious character). Hergé was breaking new ground by sending his star characters into space. After receiving a questioning phone call and a telegram from Calculus, they hop on from Marlinspike to catch the next plane to Klow, the Syldavian capital. [40] Thompson expressed his opinion that Explorers could be compared to the work of science-fiction writers Jules Verne and H. G. [5] He decided that it would be a two-volume story arc, as had proved successful with his earlier arcs, The Secret of the Unicorn (1943) and Red Rackham's Treasure (1944), and The Seven Crystal Balls (1948) and Prisoners of the Sun. Subjects: Tintin -- (Fictitious character) -- Juvenile fiction. [22] Hergé based his Moon rocket on the designs of the V-2 rocket which had been developed by German scientists during World War II. [4] His decision to move into the field of science fiction might have been influenced by his friendly rivalry with his colleague Edgar P. Jacobs, who had recently had success with his own science fiction comic, The Secret of the Swordfish (1950–53).
