Product Description
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. When Dan and his crew are abducted from a well-earned holiday, they cannot believe the identity of their abductor - the brilliant, long-missing Scottish scientist Galileo McHoo! But their captor reveals an even more astonishing secret: he knows what happened to Dan's father, and wants to set out to find him using a fantastic, experimental spacecraft! Join Dan and the gang on the amazing search for 'Terra Nova' - and Dan Dare Senior!
About the Author
Frank Hampson was 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.

Artist Frank Hampson ends his weekly work on his creation, 'Dan Dare',
This review is from: Classic Dan Dare: Safari in Space (Dan Dare (Graphic Novel)) (Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future) (Hardcover)
Hardcover with dust jacket, colour, 96 pages, 9 in. by 12 in. Published in November 2009; the twelfth volume in the Classic "Dan Dare - Pilot of the Future" series, published by Titan Books in the UK. This volume contains two stories, "Safari in Space," and the sequel, "Terra Nova," both of which which were originally published in colour on the front and second pages of EAGLE, the British weekly illustrated paper for boys, in 1959. In this volume from Titan Books, there is a page break after the conclusion of "Safari in Space" which allows the reader to look at each front page and second page of "Terra Nova" together. Both stories were written primarily by 'Dan Dare' creator Frank Hampson, and drawn by Hampson and his team of artists. The art and colour work in "Safari in Space" and the first part of "Terra Nova" are among the finest in the ten-year history of the original 'Dan Dare' feature. The last page that Frank Hampson drew for 'Dan Dare' is the first page of the episode of "Terra Nova" in Eagle Volume 10 Number 27; there is no publication date, as there was a printers' strike during July-August 1959. Perhaps as a farewell, the iconic characters that Hampson had created a decade earlier are not depicted in his final page of 'Dan Dare' artwork. Hampson moved on to illustrate a new feature that would later appear on the back page of EAGLE, "The Road of Courage" the Life of Christ, written by soon-to-be ex-editor Marcus Morris (and now published in "Classic Bible Stories" from Titan Books, available from Amazon.co.uk) Artwork for the 'Dan Dare' feature was carried on by Don Harley and other former assistants for Hampson, with the new addition of Frank Bellamy, who was moved to 'Dan Dare' in mid-assignment, after completing just eight episodes of the artwork for "The Travels of Marco Polo" appearing on the back page of EAGLE. Bellamy's artwork also appears in the next two 'Dan Dare' stories, "Trip to Trouble" and "Project Nimbus."

That, in my opinion, one of the best science fiction comics ever made to date with Jeff Hawke, the design is beautiful.
