Catalogue information
Free with a subscription to Pep. The album was brought to the market at the end of 1962 by the Illustrated Pers (GP) - the publisher of the Dutch comic weekly PEP - as a subscriber premium edition. The first mention of this album is on the back of the Pep intro folder (also called Pep zero track). This rare folder was issued in September 1962 by the magazine man and / or delivered by the postman. On the back of the folder, just like in the advertisements in the weekly magazines, an advertisement for the Tintin album “Rocket to the moon”. Not from Casterman, but printed by GP and it was intended as a premium for new Pep subscribers. It is desirable to read this premium album first, because from the first Pep (October 6, 1962), Tintin started with the follow-up story “Men on the Moon”. The album was not simply available commercially at the time. The circulation of this premium album has been enormous, because it was used as a subscriber premium album in 1963 via advertisements in the women's weekly magazine Margriet and until the end of 1964 in the Pep itself.
