Dan Dare and the Eagle

If there's an existing Dan Dare or Eagle thread I can't find it.

The recent radio 4 documentary is available for the next few days :

A brisk trot through the history of the comic, although the eighties revival is dismissed in one sentence !

Got the new Dan Dare biography for Christmas. Look forward to reading it.

theres been no Dan Dare thread here before, but thanks for starting one. enjoy the book, and also look out for Tomorrow Revisited, a bit more expensive than the biography, but as good a read if not a better read, its more expensive. but lavisilly illustrated with original art.


and heres a link to two reviews of the biography one by me from the down the tubes website.

and the Spaceship Away site

great books

I see Spaceship Away # 25 is available.
I've never bought this fanzine before but I'm a sucker for a Christmas cover and this one has a beauty, so I couldn't resist.
