Dan Dare: Red Moon Mystery
Britain's first space
hero, Dan
Dare, Pilot of the Future, made his 1950 debut in the weekly boys'
paper, The Eagle. Created and drawn by Frank Hampson, Dan Dare set a
new high watermark for artistic creativity and imagination, with the
stories checked for scientific accuracy by science fiction author
Arthur C. Clarke. The two page comics, told with cliff hanger
endings, here form a continuous narrative. Titan Books U.K. has gone
all out on these hardback, oversize (12" X 9"), full color editions,
which include interviews with Hampson and numerous extras. These
affordable volumes now bring Britain's hero of the spaceways to a new
generation. "The Red Moon Mystery" originally ran in The Eagle from
Vol.
2 #26 - Vol. 3 # 11. (A dazzling array of Dan Dare toys and tie-ins
were also produced. For more information, see the Dan Dare chapter of
Blast Off! from Dark Horse books on the "Robot Books" page under
"Books."
