Incidentally, East-German cartoonist Erich Schmitt published a cartoon series in a weekly paper back in 1956, describing a trip to a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri and featuring protagonist Karl Gabel and his German/Russian crew plus an idiosyncratic robot. The series saw several revisions, many editions to this day and a few sequels.
