The first Dan Dare strips! This strip is so fancy, it feels like you're watching some sci fi TV show or movie from the 50's that somehow landed an UNLIMITED budget. The "Biggles in Space" vibe might be kinda dated, but hey, EYE CANDY!

Sun Ra was right. Space IS the place...at least if you're Dan Dare!

Dan Dare (Pilot of the Future) made his first appearance in 'Eagle', 75 years ago today, on the 14th April 1950.

Cover of the book Dan Dare Pilot of the Future by Angus P Allan. Tagline says: Frank Hampson's great hero from The Eagle - is back! Cover shows Dan's head, with military cap, looking out, looking concerned. Digby is next to him. And a retro-style rocket ship is zooming past in the background.
Here’s something I’d like to see...
...a film (or TV series) of Frank Hampson’s DAN DARE.
Proper British retro style with the old-fashioned spaceships & spacesuits as Dan battles the dreaded Mekon.
