Considering that the cutaway illustrations of the space vehicles were from one man's imagination many of the vehicle depicted are so close to the reality of the space vehicles which became factual many years later. If you were an Eagle fan in the 50's (and you'd have to be of a certain age to appreciate it) the finest quality comic ever produced in the UK then you MUST get yourself a copy of this Haynes manual. Happy 'nostalgia' to all who purchase the Haynes Dan Dare manual.

Although generally not the original artists that illustrated Dan Dare, the artwork in this book is literally indistinguishable from the original artists work. I was a child in the '50's and also as an adult, a professional illustrator and have a good take on what looks right ,and this book looks great.

A nostalgic collection of pictures based on the old Eagle magazine's Dan Dare series. The Eagle was a boys' magazine produced during the 1950s and 60s. Excellent artwork of the fictional spaceships featured in the old stories of the publication. Ideal for Dan Dare enthusiasts of yesteryear or youngsters of today - it might enticed them away from their mobile phones for a while and appreciate the older format of story-telling!
