The Adventures of Tintin is a series of 24 comic albums created by Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi, who wrote under the pen name Hergé. Two of the albums, "Objectif Lune" ("Destination Moon"), published in 1953, and "On a marché sur la Lune" ("Explorer on the Moon"), from 1954, relate preparations for a moon mission and the mission itself, respectively.

The first of these two albums for sale is autographed and annotated as such:

• Buzz Aldrin: "First moonwalker after Tintin"
  
• Alan Bean: "I might see footprints of Neil and Buzz but I am not sure about Tintin's".
  
• James Lovell: "Houston, we've had a problem like Tintin."
  
• Al Worden: "When returning from the moon, I took the farthest out space walk!! including Tintin's" (In the second album, a drunk Captain Haddock makes an impromptu EVA and Tintin has to go rescue him.)
  
• Charlie Duke: "The youngest man after Tintin to explore the moon" (Tintin is a teenage reporter)

• A first-edition of the second album
  
• Three various-sized replica of the mission's vehicle, inspired by the WWII's Germany V2 rocket: 1 | 2 | 3
  
• An EVA-suited figurine of Tintin
  
• A table game inspired by the two books.
