To compliment my earlier Ace Brave pop-up book post, here's a few photos of my Dan Dare pop-up book which came out around 1953, and was illustrated by Eagle artist, Desmond Walduck.
Earlier this year I had a chance of purchasing an archival copy of this book kept at Purnell & Sons, the printers. Dan Dare Space Annual 1963 too. After closing of the company, they were preserved by a gentleman who was responsible for the printing of these titles.
That's just gorgeous that Scoop and well done keeping it in such great shape.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit fragile but it's still a nice copy.

ReplyDeleteI had the 1963 annual given to me by a neighbour's son in the early sixties and still have it to this day.
DeleteToo cool! Wow!
