Book excerpt: For over ten years, thanks to the tireless endeavors of Space Fleet pilots like the heroic Colonel Daniel McGregor Dare – known as Dan Dare to his friends – the Sol System, home to the Earth Alliance of planets, has prospered and grown, with countless threats both alien and terrestrial met and vanquished. However, for as long as Space Fleet has existed, so too has the Mekon. This artificially-created alien super-intellect from the planet Venus has dedicated his very existence to enslaving the Sol system. Yet despite countless attempts to do so, he never succeeded, thanks to the tireless actions of Dan Dare and his allies: right-hand man and engineer, Albert Fitzwilliam Digby, known simply as Digby; special Space Fleet Science Advisor Professor Jocelyn Peabody; and test pilot Hank Hogan, to name but a few. The Mekon’s last attempt ended in failure and left the evil Treen genius captured and incarcerated on the Moon, undergoing extensive rehabilitation. Since then, a period of peace has reigned throughout the Sol System, and utopia finally seems to be achievable. But peace comes at a price…

Download or read book Dan Dare Pilot of the Future written by Daniel Tatarsky and published by . This book was released on 2010-10-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dan Dare, pilot of the future, was the creation of Frank Hampson, a young artist who cut his teeth on Meccano Magazine. Beginning in April 1950, Dan Dare was the lead strip in the hugely successful Eagle magazine. The strip would only run to a couple of pages, but stories (and their weekly cliffhangers) could run for over a year. The majority of the strips involved Dan, a suave, natural leader, doing battle with all manner of alien lifeform to preserve the future wellbeing of Earth. Hampson's bold use of colour and figurative style (he used real-life models) were groundbreaking in post-war austerity Britain. In Dare Dare, the Biography, Daniel Tatarsky, with the entire Eagle archive open to him, researches the adventures of Dan Dare (and his co-pilots), and brings Britain's favourite space hero to life. Talking to the original writers and illustrators, Tatarsky tells the story of Dare and Eagle magazine, and paints a portrait of a nation emerging from world war II, ready for life on other planets.
