Join Dan, Digby, Professor Peabody and Hank as they travel
to Venus in the hope of finding resources to feed a starving
Earth - only to find that the Treens and their megalomaniac
leader, The Mekon, have got there before them...
Volume
one of Titan's Dan Dare collection has been put together
with all the love and care that any true fan of the original
series would be proud to own. These classic stories have been
reprinted in a large format hardcover which will not only
bring joy to many older readers, but will surely bring the
stories of Dan Dare to a new generation.
The
book starts off with an introduction by artist Dave Gibbons
and also includes a Who's Who of characters and a look
at the creation of Dan Dare. There is also a page given
over to a biography of creator Frank Hampson.
It's
amazing to see how gracefully these stories have aged. Over
50 years old, and still these strips will bring enjoyment
to old and young readers alike. When you consider how poorly
some strips have aged (I'm going to be controversial here
and give the early Batman series as an example) it
just goes to show how ahead of its time Dan Dare really
was.
An
excellent release that should take pride of place in any serious
comic collector's bookcase.
