Dan Dare was a very English reaction to the horror comics that were being imported from America in the 1950's. Unfortunatly it hasn't dated well. The rather old fashioned and sexist attitude makes it seem rather amusing today.
This is my animated tribute.
Dan Dare was Britain's answer to Captain Video and other sci-fi heroes of the Fifties. His comic strip appeared in the Sunday tabloid. I used to have a Dan Dare pop-up book as a child. The figures stood up as you turned the pages.

I'm 27 and Dan Dare is cool with me and not dated at all don't you know (save the for lingo which is also cool with me old chap)
All jolly good stuff.
P.S. I really am a fan of Dan and co, and was NOT joking.
