Publication attributed to American Chewing Gum Company (ACG), Breda, possibly late 1950s of the 20th century. The album is not available, only these 6 pictures. The first 5 pictures, certainly in conjunction with the back of nr 6, indeed show the beginning of the first part of Monus; see the book Monus de Man van de Maan and three follow-up books by A.D. Hildebrand. Only the text on the back of the 6th image is available. Given the French translation, the publication was also intended for the Belgian market. The pictures are attributed to Ferry Zipper. This is in line with the fact that in terms of style they correspond with the drawings of Zipper in part 2 of the comic Monus Man van de Maan - reissue Boumaar (see also review thereof in Holland-SF # 224 April 2006) and not with Henk's style Sprenger, who had drawn part 1 of that comic, see also the item of this comic book. Another source confirms that Zipper illustrated children's books and comic strips by A.D. Hildebrand in the 1950s. The latter appeared in the youth supplements of Het Parool. see also http://www.biographicportaal.nl/person/36692614
