With the recent resurgence of Dan Dare though the use of computer graphics, fans have been swarming to regain touches of nostalgia either through the modern cartoon or, perhaps more commonly, by obtaining these re-releases of the original pages that appeared in The Eagle. Following a classic adventure with Dare facing off against the Mekon in his own indomitable style and whilst this offering from April 1950 may still appear dated to the modern reader it's a huge influence on the whole Brit explosion of the 80/90's that took us across the world including influencing modern names such as Moore.
If you're short for that gem for either Christmas or even for a special birthday this hardback will present you with something special then make sure you pick up some dib dabs, or flying saucers and present those with this book to the older Sci-Fi fan in your life. I did that to my Dad when I lent it to him and to see his face transferred back to the cheeky one that stares back at me in the old black and white photo's of the fifties and you've got that something special that really is priceless.

As per usual, and, from a purely personal point of view, this is thoroughly enjoyable and brings back many happy memories from my school days, when we were able to read the Eagle comic. Thank you for this series of books.

I don't remember this story from my youth so it was nice to feel myself 50 (or so) years younger. The book arrived in excellent condition and just in time for me to avoid some tedious 'spring cleaning', so I'm very satisfied
