I think that's why it looked a bit dated beside Judge Dredd etc. Although the Mekons track is fairly nifty, have to disagree with your point John. Between Dan Dare and the Mekon, I think ol big green 'ed looks more like the average Irish economist than DD :-) John can confirm this (as he even remembers The Mekons from before they had their electricity cut off) but wasn’t the Eagle stuff in 2000AD (including Dan Dare) a revival of a late 50s/early 60s incarnation of the comic?

Dan Dare is the bad guy, as all good punks know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FG6z8jnS2U I think your detournement of the Mekon is unfair. Dan Dare is the bad guy, as all good punks know.

And it was noticeable even as a child that Dan Dare wasn't really 2000AD stuff. He was very much a stiff upper lip hero like something from Victor, whereas Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog and Ro-Jaws and Hammerstein lived in these broken-down futures. Even Invasion was more like Jack Regan fighting the Russians than Boys Own. The Mekon came with Dan Dare into 200AD. And it was noticeable even as a child that Dan Dare wasn’t really 2000AD stuff.

I used to read the Eagle in the early 80s. One character who sticks in my mind was Golden Boy, a blond haired kid from the deepest Africa who had grown up in the jungle and gone on to use his feral athleticism in his quest for Olympic glory. Sort of Aryan supremacist, boy's own-style. Whoops, just exposed myself as a bit of a daddy-o. I used to read the Eagle in the early 80s.
