It’s chocks away once again as Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future, returns! First published in classic British comic Eagle, this is perhaps the most seminal adventure of one of Britain’s best-loved characters, presented in a gorgeous library edition.
Dan and his crew leave Earth once more, but this time for a very personal mission — Dan’s search for his test pilot father, who disappeared over thirty years ago. But when the Scottish scientist Galileo McHoo kidnaps Dan and co., their trip to the stars takes a more serious turn...
...Especially when it turns out that McHoo is looking for his own father, the co-pilot on Dan’s father’s fated trip to the mysterious “Terra Nova”!
Frank Hampson is perhaps best known as the creator and original artist for Dan Dare, but he also illustrated a number of children’s books for Ladybird. Dan Dare was first published in the British comic, The Eagle, in April 1950 and was last published as an ongoing series in 1996 — although Dan had undergone more than a few changes by then.
