Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future: The Biography
A major comic book hero-soon to be featured in a major Hollywood film-gets the star treatment in this lavishly illustrated biography. Dan Dare is the creation of legendary artist Frank Hampson, and for more than 50 years his interplanetary adventures captured the imagination of readers around the world. The success of films like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow demonstrate the massive appeal of Dan's kind of retro-futurism. The author, with access to the original writers and illustrators and the entire Dan Dare archive, captures all the excitement of the original strips, while painting a portrait of a bygone age of comic book history. Daniel Tatarsky was the author of the well received FLICK TO KICK: THE ILUSTRATED HISTORY OF SUBBUTEO. He also compiled material for the EAGLE ANNUALS of the 1950s and 1960s.
