The Mekon, perhaps mankind’s greatest enemy, has finally been vanquished and is undergoing behavioural rehabilitation in a maximum-security prison built on the Moon. This leaves his captor, Dan Dare, desk-bound, bored, and praying for adventure… Dan’s prayers are seemingly answered when a massive spaceship of unknown origins arrives in the Sol system and destroys one of the moons of Saturn in a colossal show of strength. Dan Dare is dispatched to investigate and he may need the help of his iconic foe, The Mekon… “An interesting and thought-provoking affair. 8 out of 10.” – Adventures in Poor Taste “A relaunch that more than does the character, and its history, justice – and great fun to boot. Can’t ask for more than that.” – Nerdly “Dan Dare is a classic! Grade: A” – Comic of the Day Collects #1-4 of Dan Dare.

Dan Dare's adventures burst to the forefront of pop culture, selling nearly 1 million copies each week in the pages of the Eagle Comic. And now he's back! Dan Dare was once a hero.

But now, his Space Fleet has disbanded, the United Nations has crumbled, his friends scattered to the solar winds. Britain is once again the world power, but Dare, disillusioned and disappointed by his once-precious home country, has quietly retired. But there's trouble mustering in Deep Space. The H.M.S. Achilles is picking up strange signals when, suddenly, an enormous fleet of hostile ships ambush the destroyer. Now, as the crew struggles to stay alive, they realize with horror that the hostiles have brought a weapon of unimaginable power. Dan Dare, the pilot of the future, has been called out of retirement.

Book Description
Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future ids a British icon. He was created by Frank Hampson in 1950, and first appeared in the Eagle comic where he was an instant hit with the British public. Almost a decade after the original series had ended, Dan Dare was resurrected in the pages of a brand new sci-fi comic for boys - 2000 AD! Waking from suspended animation after two hundred years, Dan Dare faced an unfamiliar universe, filled with terrible new threats, but also included all too familiar ones…such as his old nemesis The Mekon! Collected up for the first time, the first volume of this punk-fuelled space opera features the superb writing of Pat Mills (Nemesis the Warlock), Steve Moore (Doctor Who) and Gerry Finley-Day (Rogue Trooper) with art by Massimo Belardinelli (Slaine) and Dave Gibbons (Watchmen).
