It's interesting to see the 2-page text feature synopsis of the movie "Destination Moon" on pages 18-19 here, in addition to the official comics adaptations in Fawcett's one-shot DESTINATION MOON, and DC's STRANGE ADVENTURES #1 (on which it was also cover-featured, although the DC adaptation was a mere 8-page condensation). That indicates to me that the film's production company was actively reaching out to comic book publishers for tie-ins -- something that hadn't been done by studios with movies featuring science fiction themes before. George Lucas took a similar active approach in reaching out to Marvel Comics in the 1970s. He wanted a Star Wars comic book to happen so much that the property was basically offered to Marvel royalty-free -- simply as a tool to help promote the film. Perhaps a similar thing was going on with Destination Moon.
