Title: Dan Dare reprints - How the 80s Eagle ones could look (Ian Kennedy / Pat Mills)
Post by: matty_ae on 18 December, 2013, 05:20:51 PM
Finally figured a way to share these better.
And it's a nice nostalgia trip for Ian Kennedy / Pat Mills fans

Fantastic work, and a beautiful way to revisit and experience it.  I felt my heart sink all over again when it transitioned to bog paper halfway through volume 3...

Somebody make these gorgeous things a commercial reality for the love of grud.

How cool would that be. I don't think I've read firefight since it was serialised but it all came flooding back watching that.
Nicely done

Cracking stuff there Matty, I am at the moment going through the early Eagles, and aside from a few stories it was a really great comic so much materials need to see the light of day.

These look marvellous. I fondly remember the strip and would love to have the chance to read them again. The artwork looked superb.

Really excellent piece of work. I am a big fan of Ian Kennedy's work and proud owner of the last page of the first book.

Doing myself eBooks only now due to printing costs.
Missing a Cruz credit somewhere.

Hi
Good to see you at the British Library 2000AD talk. Was very impressed with the physical book you showed me.
Till the next time our paths cross.

Wow I remember that colour and robot changing cab AND Dan Dare falling out of the window only to land on anti suicide rubber pavements (would still hurt like buggery I reckon) as if it were yesterday.
I hazard a guess re-reading this would be a great use of time so shame on you Dan Dare Foundation!
