Dan
and his trusty crew must head once more into the dangerous,
icy depths of space. There they will uncover the secrets of
a strange red moon that has entered the solar system, threatening
Earth with destruction...
The
Red Moon Mystery continues the adventures of Dan Dare.
As well as the classic comic strips, this collection includes
the second part of a lengthy interview with creator (the late)
Frank Hampson, an article on the troubled times surrounding
Hampson's departure from Eagle, and a Who's Who
in Dan Dare.
Yet
again Titan spoil us with a well presented collector's edition.
Hardback cover, glossy pages and some new material, all make
this a must own book for serious comics fans.
How
much this collection will appeal to today's, younger comics
reader is debatable. I'd like to think that Hampson's creation
is timeless, but in reality I know it isn't. While the exploits
of Dan and his crew may well have been cutting edge for their
time, they have certainly aged in the intervening years. Having
said that, I like to think that they have aged gracefully
- they're certainly more readable than other strips from the
same time (any fan of Batman or Superman will back me up here
I'm sure.)
Anyone
who remembers Dan Dare from their childhood will love
this collection.
