Original Dare Dare Artwork?

Post by Dunder Ed »

Hi all, someone I know has got this piece of original artwork. Sadly we don't know much more about it and would love to know more. Doing some research it's potentially by Frank Hampson, but would love to know more? There is also an inscription saying vol 15/36/2 which can't be a date, but not sure what else it could be.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

It's from the story "All Treens Must Die!", Issue Vol 15 No 36 (5 September 1964) of Eagle, artist Keith Watson, writer David Motton.

Brilliant knowledge thanks so much. Do you think this is the original art or an editor's proof or something of that kind? You can see the tipex marks and the speech balloons pasted in.

ah yes, the colour blind Keith Watson - what great use of colour!

Worth a few quid this (although original Eagle fans are, obviously, starting to die off)
