Classic Dan Dare: Voyage to Venus Frank Hampson 9781840236446 [USED COPY]

It's chocks away and tally-ho, chaps - Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future, is back! First published in classic British comic The Eagle, these are the original adventures of one of the best known and loved of British comic characters, presented in a new series of gorgeous library editions from Titan. In the first part of this rip-snorting story, Dan and his crew travel to Venus, hoping to find new resources to feed a starving Earth. But the planet is already the lair of the pint-sized megalomaniac, The Mekon, who has his own plans to conquer Earth! Includes background material exclusive to this book, with rarely seen art pages, an in-depth introduction to Dan Dare, and a new foreword by Dave Gibbons (Watchmen).
Reviews
Reading Evening Post, August 6th 2004: " Featuring Frank Hampson's gorgeous full colour artwork, these beautiful comic strips are as vibrant and thrilling today as they were on their original debut in April 1950."; Gatewaymonthly.com October 2004: " This is brilliant, original science fiction, paving the way for such projects as Star Trek and Star Wars, but it's more than that."; BBC Cult, review by Nev Fountain, 14 December 2004: " Dan Dare is the quintessence of future nostalgia. It's a wonderfully exciting collection of stories, escapism for boys in short trousers stuffed full of catapults and cigarette cards."; Comic World News, February 4th 2005: "Titan's albums are...reprinting classic stories beautifully drawn by a team of dedicated artists headed by Hampson."
