As the cutaways are proving quite popular with some of you out there, I thought you might like to see these two scans featuring rocket launching in the futuristic world of Dan Dare.
This one showing a spaceport of the future from the 'Best of the Eagle 1950's Comic' book 2007.
And this one showing a Dan Dare launching pad taken from the Dan Dare Space Annual 1963
Excellent! Keep the Dan Dare stuff coming! Ihadn't even heard of Dan Dare until 'bout two years ago but am slowly becoming a fan. Love the artwork and may even start collecting toys (I almost bought a couple of Dan Dare items the past couple of months - it will have to wait though 'till the wallet is fat again)
Hey Scoop, in regards to the spaceport drawing, would it be possible to get a close-up scan of the yellow box with the numbered descriptions corresponding to the numbers on the drawing?
Interesting the Dan Dare rotating launch ramp is quite similiar to the Soviet N1 Moon Rocket launch ramp (equipped with a similiar rotating gantry) appeared a mere five years later...
