Synopsis

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.

When Dan and his crew are abducted from a well-earned holiday, they cannot believe the identity of their abductor — the brilliant, long-missing Scottish scientist Galileo McHoo! But their captor reveals an even more astonishing secret: he knows what happened to Dan’s father, and wants to set out to find him using a fantastic, experimental spacecraft!

Join Dan and the gang on the amazing search for “Terra Nova” — and Dan Dare Senior!
