… unfortunately not as a comic but as a full CG animation aimed at family audiences. So that makes the prospect of any kind of rerelease for the dare buggered by mekon version created by morrison in the early 90s even less likely

besides for being an almost iconic british comic character is there any reason anyone should give a flying fuck about anything to do with DAN DARE except the Morrison story?

i say this with all due respect sleazenation.

Where does this idea of Dare being buggered by the Mekon come from? He isn't in my copy...

it is strongly implied-- the mekon is talking about the 'strange aphrodisiac' qualities of manner (whilst eating some i believe) before advising Col. Dare to 'lie back and think of england, its more than she ever did for you'

hey, I like Dan Dare. the '50's version of it anyway. a bit like a blander version of a futuristic Tintin. and those colors.

oh right. I feel like a bit of a prune for not picking up on that one at all.
