Whenever people come into the shop looking for a good old-fashioned science fiction yarn with spaceships and the works, it’s actually very hard to find something new and exciting for them that fits the description. But now, as a retailer, I’m well-armed for the next such encounter by Ennis and Erskine’s Dan Dare. Having never read one of the previous incarnations of the property, I’m still completely able to enjoy it, and readers who are familiar with previous incarnations seem to agree. This is a solid, thoroughly entertaining read: space battles, political intrigue, land battles, alien menaces, black holes, Britain and the good old days. If you missed the first couple issues, now’s the time to catch up.

PS - I have just four additional words for this week’s issue: Brendan McCarthy Variant Cover
