START 1961 WITH A DAN DARE ADVENTURE

Continuing with my current indulgence with Dan Dare, and what with 2014 just around the corner I thought  it would be nice to dig out an Eagle cover celebrating the New Year.

   This is my favourite from December 31, 1960. By then the Dare strip was being drawn by Bruce Cornwall and Don Harley with story credits going to Eric Eden.   I like the ship design for the 'Martain Queen' freighter which, in my opinion wouldn't look out of place as a SWORD craft.

Happy New Year, folks
