"This magnificent volume is a brilliant example of British comic story writing and art at its very best." --Books Monthly
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. Abducted by brilliant Scottish scientist Galileo McHoo, Dan and co have used his incredible spacecraft, the Galactic Galleon, to reach the mysterious Terra Nova - last known destination of Dan's test pilot father! But when the gang stumble into a war between the strange inhabitants of this world, will they survive to learn the truth? Packed with beautiful artwork from legendary Dare creator Frank Hampson, and his successor, acclaimed artist Frank Bellamy, this volume collects the stories "Trip to Trouble" and "Operation Nimbus".

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.
