DAN DARE LOOKS GOOD FOR 70...



Apparently it was DAN DARE's 70th anniversary yesterday, as well as that of the comic he first appeared in - EAGLE.  April 14th is the 'official' date because that's what was printed on the cover of #1, but as we all know, comics usually go on sale before the cover date, from a few days right up to a week.  Anyway, above is a photo of the great man himself, exploring the vast expanse of my back garden.  (You'd be amazed at all the famous people who often drop in for a visit at my humble abode.  Yea, verily.)

  4. And what's more, PS, it's an official Dan Dare figure. Very rare, I'd imagine.

  6. It's hanging on the wall at the side of me, Woodsy, but it's right at the top so out of reach. At a guess I'd say it'a around 12 and a half to 13 inches - it certainly looks taller than Action Man.
