Three further adventures based on the Eagle comic strip "Dan Dare"
created by Rev. Marcus Morris, adapted and drawn by Frank Hampson.
Episode 4 - Reign of the Robots by Simon Guerrier. Dan Dare and his
crew finally return to Earth. Landing in central London, they find
the city deserted - or that's how it seems at first. But soon Dare
faces an army of ruthless machines, robots who have conquered the
planet and placed the surviving humans in slave camps. The robots
are too powerful and too numerous to be resisted, and their
invasion is complete. With limited resources, Dare, Digby and
Peabody face their greatest challenge yet - to liberate planet
Earth. But the task becomes more desperate than ever when Dan
discovers the alien force behind the robot invasion. Episode 5 -
Operation Saturn by Patrick Chapman. As work begins to rebuild
planet Earth after the devastation of the robot invasion, Dare and
his friends in Space Fleet remain vigilant, certain that it is only
a matter of time before the Mekon launches a fresh attack. When the
wreck of the Nautilus - an experimental ship lost over a decade
before - appears in orbit of the moon, Dare, Digby and Peabody are
sent to investigate.They find the ship and its crew were destroyed
by advanced alien weapons. All clues lead them to Saturn's moons.
With Earth still vulnerable our heroes must journey to an unknown
world - to discover who sent the Nautilus back, not realising that
for once the source of their latest conflict comes from a lot
closer to home. Not all would-be conquerors of planet Earth are
alien. Episode 6 - Prisoners of Space by Colin Brake. After a
sequence of near non-stop adventures Dare, Digby and Peabody find
themselves in a strange limbo of paranoid calm. Whilst there's been
no sign of the Mekon anywhere in the solar system, Dare is certain
Earth hasn't seen the last of the evil alien. Mysterious spaceship
disappearances near Venus, an Academy student accidentally
launching a prototype new spacecraft, and a floating prison cell in
space...reveal themselves as all part of the Mekon's latest plan to
defeat his arch-enemy Dan Dare once and for all. The first season
of Dan Dare concludes with daring space action, fearless heroics
and the revelation of devastating secrets concerning Space Fleet.
