Synopsis

It’s chocks away and tally-ho, chaps — Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future, returns! First published in classic British comic The Eagle, these are the original adventures of one of the best known and loved of British comic characters.

In the second instalment of this space-faring story, Dan and his crew travel to Venus, hoping to find new resources to feed a starving earth. But the planet is already the lair of the pint-sized megalomaniac The Mekon, who plans to conquer the Earth!

Includes background material exclusive to this book, a rare strip ‘Mars 1988’, a foreword by Python Terry Jones and a previously unseen interview with Dan Dare creator Frank Hampson!
