Dear Gary. it was a pleasure seeing you at the Singapore comic con and to see your brilliant works of art. I have since secured the worldwide license of Dan Dare to produce action figures 1/6th scale for the Eagle comics starting in the 1950s version of Dan Dare to be released to the public the end of this year. Let us hope i can design and manufacture your works of art in the future.

You can see my works in progress at http://www.day2daytrading.com or you can mail me @ ajeff@day2daytrading.com.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for your positive review. I’m glad you (and others) are enjoying the series. Lots of more thrills to come! Garth has really managed to bridge that difficult gap between the original Hampson fans of the original Dare and the new readers, while also addressing and acknowledging the Gibbons, Morrison and newer Eagle versions. He has also shown readers a classic story-telling approach for a true hero.
Looking forward to the hardcover edition (first I have heard about that!) and maybe a signing? ;)
Best.
