Classic British science fiction comic strip, created by Frank Hampson in the Eagle comic in 1950. Colonel Dan Dare of the Interplanet Space Fleet and his band of companions would explore other planets and defend the Earth from a variety of colourful alien threats, including arch-enemy the Mekon. The strip was known for the high quality of its artwork and its long, complex storylines, which could run for over a year of weekly two-page episodes.The original strip ran from 1950 to 1965, with a number of format changes and a general decline in quality in the last few years. It has been revived several times, often with wildly different versions of the character: in 2000 AD (1977-1979), in the New Eagle (1982-early 1990s, featuring a descendant of the original Dan), an especially cynical miniseries in the pages of Revolver written by Grant Morrison (1990-1991), and a limited series written by Garth Ennis (2007-2008).Oh, and Elton John wrote a song about him. Give a listen! It's cool. | |

Creator Cameo: Several characters were drawn to resemble members of Hampson's team: Gretchen Franklin as Peabody, Eric Eden as O'Malley and Hampson himself as Deputy-Controller O'Brien. Also, Desmond Walduck, who drew Prisoners of Space, added himself to the last installment as a press photographer. | |

The Quisling: The tertiary villains in Operation Saturn are the Rootha, the native aristocracy of Saturnia who serve the real ruler, Vora, who was of interstellar origin. The secondary villain is the human Blasco, who plots to similarly serve as Vora's Quisling emperor on Earth. (The primary villain is, of course, Vora himself). | |

Ironic Echo | |
| Dan Dare (Comic Strip) / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo: In the 2008 mini-series: "You were asking about Digby". To clarify: Digby is killed during a battle against the Mekon's forces. When Dan Dare is seemingly captured and brought before the Mekon, the Mekon mockingly asks him "No Digby?" Then, in the final battle, the Mekon ends up powerless and prone before Dare, who provides the Ironic Echo before a well-deserved stabbing. | |

Faster-Than-Light Travel: Gradually introduced during the initial run. The first few stories are set in our solar system. The first faster-than-light trip turns out to be a slower-than-light ship that put the crew into suspended animation for most of the voyage. The development of real FTL travel was a plot point in a later story, and it eventually became commonplace. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill | |
| Dan Dare (Comic Strip) / int_2f94135c | comment |
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Space-Fleet pistols fired non-lethal, paralysing gas, and Dan was always keen to find non-violent solutions to conflicts, although he was willing to kill when he absolutely had to. Thrown out the window in the Ennis series, where the Royal Navy (who have taken over Space-Fleet's duties) pack futuristic assault rifles, and Dan apparently lethally wounds the Mekon in their climactic battle with what looks like a katana. | |

Surrounded by Idiots | |
| Dan Dare (Comic Strip) / int_43a46119 | comment |
Surrounded by Idiots: A subtle but potent examination thereof; The Mekon has found that having an entire civilization of sycophants at his beck and call has resulted in this. Dare once escaped from the Mekon's flagship via the open hangar because the deckmaster didn't shut the door - because he had no orders to do so. The same flagship is hit amidships despite the Mekon's orders to turn about... because the captain is so focused on his earlier orders to "attack the enemy" the Mekon is unable to convey that Dare actually intends to ram them. Both times the Mekon summarily executes the minions involved, but it's pretty obvious the Treens' lack of initiative is entirely his design; He's summarily punished rebellion so many times that the average Treen has all the ambition of a tree slug. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Dan Dare (Comic Strip) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Dare, Grant Morrison's miniseries from the early 1990s, warps the original, idealistic Dan Dare vision of the 1990s into a satire of the real 1990s bequeathed to Britain by the Thatcher government. An injured Dan Dare comes out of retirement to investigate a conspiracy that's already claimed Peabody's life and goes on to claim Digby's. In the final chapter it's revealed that the British government has sold out to the Mekon. The story ends with Dare setting off a nuclear explosion that wipes out the Mekon, the corrupt government, and himself, along with an unspecified but no doubt large number of innocent bystanders — with the possibility left open that it may already be too late to prevent the horrors of the Mekon's plot running its course. | |

Take a Third Option | |
| Dan Dare (Comic Strip) / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: A pivotal moment in Marooned on Mercury: The Mekon has created a super weapon called Panthanaton, and plans to wipe out all life on Earth and Venus with it, but he needs a human pilot and wants to force Dan to do it. Consequently, he captures Dan's friends and tells Dan that he can either agree to the mission or watch as the chamber his friends are in is filled with Panthanaton. Escaping is not an option. Dan decides to punch out the Mekon's guard and run. Escaping might not be an option, but seizing a container of Panthanaton and threatening to smash it is. | |

Joker Immunity: The Mekon almost always gets away. On the rare occasions he doesn't, the heroes capture him and put him in prison, from which he eventually escapes. Averted in the case of every other villain, who tend to be around for one story and die at the end of it. | |

Heavyworlder: The gravity on Venus is approximately 90% of that on Earth, giving every human a small degree of superstrength while on the planet. They're not Kryptonians, but it does give them a bit of an edge. When one of the Verans from Jupiter visited Earth, he fell over and needed an industrial crane to right himself. | |

Fridge Brilliance | |
| Dan Dare (Comic Strip) / int_b0cd3349 | comment |
It can be argued that the 2008 Virgin Comics mini-series changes the setting, characters and technology so much that it is unrecognizable from the classic original series it supposedly follows. Of particular offense is a scene which suggests the original strip was dumbed-down stories for children. Fridge Brilliance or Take That!? Take your pick. | |

Cycle of Revenge | |
| Dan Dare (Comic Strip) / int_b7042372 | comment |
Cycle of Revenge: Discussed in "Voyage To Venus", after the Treen are defeated, the people of Earth state their conditions, such as total disarmament (an agreement shared among all parties), and an end to the enslavement of Atlantines. Things such as Food are only done at request, and only if the Treen are willing to provide. When the Treen question why Earth, as the conquerors, not just take the resources, Dan explains that Earth has learnt from its own history that to do so, and become an occupying force, would only breed resentment and lead to future conflicts. | |

Aerial Canyon Chase | |
| Dan Dare (Comic Strip) / int_bf4fb49b | comment |
Aerial Canyon Chase: Subverted during the 'All Treens Must Die' storyline. After being released from his imprisonment for genocide as Earth, now with its defences offline, came under a surprise assault from the Mekon's invasion force, in a last, desperate bid to do something, Dan and his crew were bunged into the Anastasia and told to do whatever they could. When one enemy fighter launched a missile on their tail, Dan tried to use the local canyon to escape it. Unfortunately, the missile was just as good, and his attempts to get back out of the canyon were thwarted by fighter wings at a higher altitude keeping them pinned down. With a mountain looming up ahead, Dan tried pulling straight up anyway, noted the missile was still unfazed, and just turned to his crew and apologised. Annie promptly took the missile up the tailpipe. | |
