Happy Birthday to EAGLE comic!
The Eagle Society is having its annual get together this week, with illustrator Graham Bleathman as their special guest; I couldn’t make it, but special thanks to Steve Winders once again for permission to crosspost his celebration of the 75th anniversary of the launch of Eagle comic last year, the original home of “Dan Dare” and so much more, on Downthetubes: https://downthetubes.net/happy-birthday-eagle-75-years-old/.
Sadly it also reminds me of the late, much missed David Slinn’s earlier celebratory item, posted back in 2016: https://downthetubes.net/the-eagle-at-66-a-boys-eye-view/
I’m glad to be a small part of the latest Dan Dare revival, the graphic novel “Dan Dare: First Contact” from Alex de Campi and Marc Laming, coming soon from B7 Comics a https://www.kickstarter.com/.../dan-dare-graphic-novel
