Editing Explorers on the Moon (section)

Upon the serial's publication, Hergé faced criticism for including Wolff's suicide in the story; suicide was widely viewed as a sin in Catholic-dominated Belgium. In deference to these critics, for the published book version he added Wolff's line of "perhaps by some miracle I shall escape too", to make the scene seem a less obvious suicide. Years later, Hergé expressed regret that he had capitulated on this issue.{{sfnm|1a1=Peeters|1y=1989|1p=97|2a1=Thompson|2y=1991|2p=148|3a1=Assouline|3y=2009|3p=74}}
The story was collected together and published by Editions Casterman as ''On a Marché Sur La Lune'' in 1954.{{sfn|Lofficier|Lofficier|2002|p=63}} Casterman were unhappy with this title, which translates as "We Walked on the Moon", but Hergé resolutely refused to make a change.{{sfn|Thompson|1991|p=149}}
