Format:Hardcover
This volume features two main stories, Trip to Trouble (Eagle volume 10 #41 - V.11 #11, c.46pp) and Project Nimbus (V.11 #12 - #28, c.34pp) plus two 8-page 'backup' stories, taken, I assume from Annuals - Space Race and Operation Moss. Space Race is unsigned, but Operation Moss is signed by Frank Hampson and Don Harley, the two main stories are signed by Frank Bellamy - Britain's greatest comic book artist (though Frank Hampson and Don Lawrence both have their supporters for the title).
According to the checklist at the back of the book, these two stories are the only 'solo' ones by Frank Bellamy, though he did work on 'Terra Nova' in the previous volume. This volume is pure Bellamy, though not quite the Bellamy of TV21 and Garth, as the production crew do their best to keep the look of the characters consistent with Frank Hampson's style, but fortunately they don't succeed very often. The spaceships and general design is pure Bellamy though. In the previous volume, you could see the Bellamy style slowly emerging through the Hampson template, but here he has broken through completely.

Remarkably good quality product to a very high standard. I have other volumes in this series from this publisher and will continue to purchase any more they produce. Contains most interesting information about the original artists and authors in addition to the actual stories them selves.

Being a huge comic book fan, I decided to order Trip to Trouble as a tribute to my collection and am extremely pleased with the product.
The artwork is brilliant and the book is a very fair price.
I would definitely recommend this product to any Dan Dare fan!
