#1 Vuelve Dan Dare de la mano de Ennis y Virgin comics
Esto es algo que nadie lo posteó asi que acá va la info.
Dan Dare es uno de los personajes más clasicos de Inglaterra, algo parecido a lo que para los yanquis es superman, batman, etc. La serie es sobre un piloto espacial del futuro, una especie de Buck Rogers britanico.
Aparentemente un millonario ingles, fanático del personaje, puso una torta de guita para que lo publiquen, así que Virgin Comics va a sacar una mini de 7 números con guion de Garth Ennis y dibujos de Gary Erskine, la tapa del #1 es de Brian Talbot.
Ministry of Space de Ellis y Weston estaba basada en los comics de Dan Dare.
El primer número de la mini esta en las solicit. de noviembre y es el primer numero de Virgin que me voy a encargar
.
Con esto ya hay toda un revival de comics ingleses, primero con lo que hizo la señorita Moore Jr. con Albion, ahora esto y ademas lo que va a sacar IDW de Doctor Who, otro personaje clasico britanico (guiones de Pat Mills & John Wagner y dibujos de Dave Gibbons
).

Virgin Comics brings back DAN DARE: PILOT OF THE FUTURE with GARTH ENNIS
August 27th, 2007
Dan Dare has been an icon since 1950. Elaborate stories of his space travel and galactic battles defending people of the universe captivated post-War baby boomers. Dan Dare’s adventures burst to the forefront of pop culture, selling nearly 1 million copies each week in the pages of the Eagle Comic.
“Dan Dare is the quintessential British hero. He’s our Captain America, our Superman, our Batman, he’s all of them rolled into one. He’s the original and the best.” said Garth Ennis, recipient of several National Comics Awards for the best in UK comics and Will Eisner Awards for the best in US comics.
“Dan Dare is an heroic, thoughtful and fiercely independent character; I was an avid reader of his epic journeys. It is a pleasure for Virgin Comics to be involved with such a legendary character – one of the original great aviators” said Sir Richard Branson.
“Dan Dare is the real original Super Hero. In the 50’s, on the front page of The Eagle, he was selling one million copies a week. Today, his impact and appeal to readers across the UK and around the world can be even greater with Virgin Comics. This is a perfect partnership.” said Colin Frewin, CEO of The Dan Dare Corporation. “Superman, Batman and Spider-Man beware – Dan Dare – Pilot of the Future is back to protect us all.
Virgin Comics’ Dan Dare is set in the future, albeit not too many decades from the present day. Colonel Dare is still vibrant and courageous – but now he’s retired. His retirement is a self-imposed exile, the result of his disgust with politics and the post-nuclear warfare that has destroyed North America and much of Asia – leaving the UK as the world’s last remaining superpower. Readers familiar with Dan Dare stories will recognize many of the original cast including a wiser and more experienced Digby; the innovative, brilliant and beautiful Professor Peabody; and of course the enemy of all that is good, the super-intelligent ruler of the Treens – The Mekon, together with a mix of galactic evil beings.
“Dan Dare and Virgin are a perfect combination – two iconic UK brands. We are thrilled to be working with Colin and Garth to redefine this quintessential character for a new generation of readers around the world.” said Sharad Devarajan, Virgin Comics’ CEO.
“Dan Dare + Garth Ennis = AWESOME,” explains Gotham Chopra, Virgin Comics’ Chief Creative Officer. “There’s not much more to say because this is a combination that doesn’t require hype – great comic heroes plus great comic writers equal a great time for all of us. Expect nothing less.”

DAN DARE #1
Written by: Garth Ennis
Art by: Gary Erskine
Cover by: Bryan Talbot; Variant Cover by: Greg Horn
Dan Dare was once a hero. He brokered peace with alien races, pushed the frontiers of space, and saved the planet from total annihilation… repeatedly. But now, his Space Fleet has disbanded, the United Nations has crumbled, his friends scattered to the solar winds. Britain is once again the world power, but Dare, disillusioned and disappointed in his once-precious home country, has quietly retired. But there’s trouble mustering in Deep Space. The H.M.S. Achilles is picking up strange signals when, suddenly, an enormous fleet of hostile ships ambushes the destroyer. As the crew struggles to stay alive, they realize with horror that the hostiles have brought a weapon of unimaginable power. Dan Dare, pilot of the future, has been called out of retirement!
