Just order this piece, another DAN DARE for my collection.
Curious bit of backstory on this one. It is actually the bottom half of two pages, stitched together across the center line. It was thus reformatted to be used in one of the EAGLE Annuals, and, as was the habit, of course it was the original art that was cut up and pasted onto a board. This meant actually trimming some of the panels. Since most of you will not be familiar with the story this art is from, let me mention that the bearded gentleman in the purple jacket and kilt, grabbing the microphone in the second panel, has the memorable name of "Galileo McHoo"!
