I'm halfway through the third of Titans reprints of the original Dan Dares adventures and wow!
I assumed that the stories would be much more simplistic than they are, and much more dated, but there is some simply splendid stuff in these collections. Tales of an optomistic future where pluck, stamina, and dedication will see you through against brute strength, violence, and nastiness. Worlds full of bright coloured aliens, amazing machinery, terrible creatures, adventures in space, mysterious civilisations, evil despots.
Great, great stuff and I can quite see why the Eagle did so well. Any one else been reading these? And anyone else gagging for the fourth book? Anyone else realise how great Frank Hampson was? |
