Just backed the Kickstarter for the new Dan Dare by Alex De Campi & Marc Laming, coming from B7Media (who also do the DD audio stories)

Love DD, eager to see their take on this classic Brit #comics character. Last one to get the spirit of it was the Garth Ennis & Gary Erskine take, which was modern but true to the original spirit.

Interesting #blog about #UK #comic #artist #DaveGibbons written by letterer #ToddKlein.

Klein was interested by the fact that Gibbons has always lettered most of his own work, which goes back to Gibbon's training as an architect and surveyor. Later in his career, he commissioned the creation of several fonts based on his own lettering style.

New episode! This week we're diving into Garth Ennis’s 2007 Dan Dare series. It's a grim, yet surprisingly heartfelt reboot of a character better known for stiff-upper-lip sci-fi adventures.

The Mekon is an annoying house guest.

Partly because it inspired my WIP, but mostly because everything is terrible and life's too short not to indulge in things that bring you joy, I wrote a blog post reflecting on a work that's been a big influence on me: Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future. #DanDare https://write.as/johnayliff/revisiting-dan-dare

Partly to get inspiration for Foolish Earth Creatures, but mostly because everything is terrible and life is too short not to unashamedly...

Anyway I've also recently finished re-reading all the original 1950s comics. Thinking about writing a blog post about how they've influenced me. #DanDare
Just read the 2017 Dan Dare comic by Peter Milligan/Alberto Foche, which I only learned existed recently. And it's actually pretty good! #DanDare
