Product Description

Review

"* "Frank Hampson's Dan Dare is the most thrilling and accomplished work ever published in the comics form in Britain." - Philip Pullman, His Dark Materials * Praise for Titan's previous Dan Dare collections: "Frank Hampson is one of the unsung geniuses of the Twentieth Century." - Terry Jones (Monty Python)"


Product Description

It's chocks away once again as Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future, returns! First published in classic British comic "Eagle", these are the original adventures of one of the best-loved British characters, presented in a new series of gorgeous library editions. A mysterious spaceship appears near Earth, apparently from nowhere, and astonished boffins conclude that it must have broken the light barrier even as it splashes down in the Pacific! As Colonel Dare, 'Flamer' Spry, Digby and undersea ace Lex O'Malley search for the ship underwater, an escape pod launches, crashing in Brazil...and its occupant has a desperate plea for help - in English! Colonel Dare and his crew prepare to journey to a strange new world - faster than the speed of light!

5.0 out of 5 stars classic of sci fi comic, 22 Sep 2007
By RAMON (Santander, SPAIN) - See all my reviews
This was my first contact with scifi comic, and I fell in love with it.
The plot is simple: an extraterrestrial ship falls to earth, carrying desperate messengers looking for help against the Kruels: a race that invades their planet to make them slaves. Dan Dare and his friends embark in the task of defending them, and travel to the planet in question.

The story has all the innocent assumptions of those times: corageous goys, fist play, decission, energy, virility, loyalty. It makes one wish that cyberpunk never existed.

And then the wonderful drawing lines, flowing, creating a whole new planet and ecosystem. And the colours, bright, clear, rich... No wonder this comic has been re edited several times.

Heartily recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Old School Sci-Fi Classic Spectacular, 31 Jul 2008
By F. T. J. Pas "Dr. F" (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I cannot recommend this enough. Faithfully reproduced from the original material, this series has a special place in my heart.
Fans from Star Wars and Indiana Jones films, who also like comics/graphic novels should read this.
It's very episodic in nature, because it was written for a weekly magazine, the Eagle. But the scope and the ideas of author Frank Hampson are very much visionary. There is a big overall storyline. And although one of the reviewers here deduct a point, because you don't get the whole story, the sequel "Rogue Planet" is already out. And when you read this book you are hooked anyway, so buy them together.
You get also, with every album in this series, lots of background information and interviews with the makers of this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Be warned this is not the full story, 15 May 2008
By Jeremy Cole "Jonguler" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whilst I agree with the quality of the reproduction I feel potential readers should be warned that this is not a complete story. About two thirds of the way through the book the "Man from Nowhere" finishes and you have a panel saying "This story is continued in 'Rogue Planet'".
The rest of the book then has a couple of shorter episodes which are worth viewing as historic items though the penmanship is not as good as the major story.
I was disappointed as I thought I was getting an entire story in one book.
