Too bad he tore the lid when he opened it. Of course back then, no one had any concept of the collector market. That secret would be worth at least five times as much today if the packaging were intact.
“Damn you people! I’ll do it all myself: write it, edit it, publish, hell I’ll even pose for the cover art! Just use a psuedonym. I don’t want to hurt my film career!”
I think they were going for Howard Hughes on this cover (back when he was in aeronautics instead of insanity). Certainly looks like a poster from one of the RKO movies he produced.

He’s probably just discovered that no one remembered to change the destination from ‘central London’ to ‘the Moon’.

Michael Keaton never backs down from a fight, even if it is with a dangerous looking blueprint.

TAKEOUT — I can’t make sense of this Chinese restaurant menu!

That should read ‘He took the lid off of the greatest secret of our time…Toreoff!‘.

Does one actually tear a lid? Do secrets have lids? These metaphors just aren’t working for me.
It looks like he’s ruffled the tissue paper in which the greatest secret was wrapped.

Very Alfred Hitchcock’s Saboteur. Will he end up dangling on the nose-cone?

I didn’t know Bob and Doug Mackenzie dabbled in science fiction.

Those must be some astonishing blueprints, if he’s gazing upon them with that goofy-as-hell facial expression.

The art was going really well till they got to Capt. Beefcake’s gaping maw.
Really, cover up the lower part of his face and it’s good 50’s art.

Matt Damon went to the moon?

This is what Dominique Pinon thought his role in ‘Alien Resurrection’ would be like.

This is why you don’t buy your moon rocket from Ikea.

@fred (2) – It’s the alternate poster for Keaton’s ‘The Paper’! Some awesome comments for this one.

Maybe those aren’t rocket blueprints at all. Maybe they’re plans for the fake moon landing movie set.

Bob Crane from Hogan’s Heroes?
