Back in the 1950's, people wondered what the future would be like. Frank Hampson showed them something that might not have been THE future, but it was a future worth showing.
This is Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future.

Yes, I'm trying something a little different for weekends now. Let's be honest, nobody really cared when I was posting Dick Tracy, and my Sunday scanlations were turning into a bare-bones obligation. Therefore, I'm switching things up by posting a British classic.
But why Dan Dare, I hear you ask? Well, as you may know I've taken to posting comic book legends who worked on licensed comics e.g. Star Trek, Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey, etc. Frank Bellamy drew a one-page Star Trek ad for Radio Times (something of a British institution, especially round Christmas) and he took over Dan Dare from Frank Hampson after Hampson left Eagle for personal reasons, so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Fair warning: these reprints gave pretty good value for your money in terms of page-count, and I hope to cover the entire Voyage to Venus story arc today.

Why does my ISP always crap out when I'm trying to do a big storytime?

I first learned about Dan Dare from this video.

Happening to find a copy of the very reprint I'm posting soon afterwards didn't hurt, either...

And yes, the "Y-y-you're a WOMAN!?" was still relatively fresh back in 1950.

Where'd you find your goldmine? I'm missing a few Dan Dare books, and you know I hate it when a storytime is incomplete.

They've got obscure stuff like Hoot for gods sake. Keep scrolling down and you hit the links to Fantasy/Sci fi/detective, pulp and underground stuff.
No Hookjaw though.[/spoier]

I know right? Seems very active too. Download links have no limits. I've been bagging a few chunks. Look at some of that stuff on there. There's Wicked, Zit, Scream and Wow, really obscure forgotten stuff. I'm going to have to story time a load of this.
