More paperwork relating to the Dan Dare CGI series that aired on channel 5 in the early 2000's has recently come to light so I've added it to my post about the show. Thanks to John Freeman for spotting this.

Thanks Richard for another interesting post. Not surprised it cost 2.5 million dollars back then ,could probably be made a lot cheaper these days but the techniques shown were cutting edge at the time.
And I only know that as I read your previous post about this tv show and then got the DVD.I hadn't known of its existence before you mentioned it.
It's actually quite enjoyable over a beer if you are a Dan Dare fan.
Top work Sir.

Just to prove (to myself) that there's always something new to discover...here's an edition of a Dan Dare comic, produced 17 years ago, that I was unaware of until very recently. Art by Dave Gibbons. Anyone got a spare copy?

Dan Dare merch, part 98 (or something). This item was produced by Horlick's - 'Space-cup away!' as it says on the packaging!

A final (?) look at all things to do with Eaglecon '80. More images of the ephemera produced. Good luck collecting this stuff!

The deluxe leatherbound edition of the Frank Hampson biography 'Tomorrow revisited' came with a unique Don Harley painting. I'd love to see more examples of these paintings, so each time I see a copy of this book up for sale from now on I'll add it to this gallery...

I'm always happy to feature the non-Dan Dare work of artists who worked on the original Eagle version and today it's the turn of Harold Johns and this piece of his artwork that was up for sale recently.

'Tomorrow revisited' is THE guide to the art of Frank 'Dan Dare' Hampson. Special leatherbound editions of the book come with a new piece of Dan Dare art by Don Harley. I'm trying to log these examples of Harley's art, here's what I've found so far...
