Sorry for your loss Chris.

The Mekon looks fabulous though…….now he needs a Dan Dare to keep him under control……

 

[Jakko]

That is looking properly good. No trace of a repair that I can see, too.

I've just caught up with this. It's great to see!

I used to get the Eagle comic as a kid. I think my parents considered it 'serious', at least for a comic and certainly compared to something like The Beano

The Mekon is coming along nicely, I'm nervous about what superweapon he'll come up with next in his quest to conquer the universe.

Excellent job on the Mekon sir.

Absolutely superb - I love the fact you've captured Matron's Great Aunt to a 'T', and from a Daguerrotype! Superb stuff indeed!

I loved the Trajan Empire (or was that Look and Learn?)

 

[stona]

TRIGAN Empire...pretty sure that was 'Look and Learn'.

The Trajan Empire was real, and certainly didn't involve death rays etc.

[Mickc1440]

Comic geek to the fore - The Trigan Empire series are currently on Volume 4 of reprints
Meanwhile, the entire Frank Hampson (creator) run of Dan Dare is available in large format reprints, as is most of the Frank Bellamy stories and the b+w stories, that's 16 big hardbacks so far from Titan. What's still never been reprinted in the current hardbacks, nor the ones issued in the 'nineties, is the centre-spread stories from the mid-sixties
